Residents of an Aberdeen street have claimed builders have left them off the map by not putting up a street sign four years ago.

Residents of an Aberdeen street have claimed builders have left them off the map by not putting up a street sign four years ago.

Papermill Avenue, on the banks of the River Don near Tillydrone, was built in 2012 as a joint project between the council and Sanctuary Homes Ltd.

But the residents have been left without a street sign informing visitors of where they are, causing confusion with delivery drivers and fears that emergency services may be unable to locate it.

Local mum Carrie-Anne Holland, who lives on the development, said: “We moved in when the flats were built in and there has never been a sign.

“I have contacted a councillor, and both the council and Sanctuary are denying that it’s their responsibility to supply one.

“Papermill Avenue runs parallel to the River Don, in a development aimed at families, and with no road signs, emergency services could have difficulty finding it.

“We often have to stand outside and let delivery drivers know where we are. We’ve had problems with post too, but that’s not the postie’s fault though.

“I’ve had parcels returned to sender as relief posties haven’t known where to deliver to.”

Businessman Chetan Aggarwal, who will open the development’s first shop on Friday, agreed.

The 27-year-old said: “We are so close to the river that the emergency services need to be sure of where they are going or it could be a disaster.”

But last night Tillydrone councillor Ross Grant said the issue should be close to resolution.

He said: “I can totally understand the concerns of residents but there had been a bit of a mix up between the council and the developer is my understanding.”

A spokesman for the development said: “We can confirm the signage has been ordered and are sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

But Ms Holland added: “We’ve heard that before.”
