"A couple of residents in that area contacted me on it. There is a very bad dip in the road, maybe you can look at that too as well. I have a pram now and it's brought it to light for me. Please have a look at the footpath too," Cllr Connell said.

In reply, the area engineer agreed to meet on site to examine the condition of the footpaths.
