AN APPEAL FROM RESIDENTS OF LINISTER CRESCENT AREA
Once again residents of the Linister Crescent area wish to highlight the problem of the main sewer in the Linister Crescent area and appeal for cooperation from all residents.
It is less than two years since a similar problem occurred, caused by residents themselves. Last time, the problem was caused by nappies being flushed down the lavatories resulting in the main sewer being blocked. A similar problem has now occurred and residents affected make a strong appeal to all in the area to desist from flushing nappies & wipes down the lavatory. This practice causes a health hazard, distress, mess and in some cases time off work to deal with the problem. Residents wish to thanks Scottish Water who resolved the problem in less than 24 hours.
