Gateway to College

From Dundee and Angus College :

This course offers an opportunity to gain qualifications and skills that will help you move onto the right programme/onto the right career pathway.

Available in a variety of formats (from flexible attendance to fully funded January-May courses to suit individual needs) Gateway to College Short Full Time is designed to develop the essential and soft skills you need to succeed in any career and at the same time lets you investigate different careers and discuss vocational interests so helping you be more informed about options open to you.

Successful candidates will have the option of applying for the vocational course of their choice in Session 19/20 or continue to develop confidence, social and soft skills and try out the vocational area they are interested in through a relevant Gateway course.

Perth Road bus services #dundeewestend

As residents will be aware, Xplore Dundee has unfortunately now confirmed it will press ahead from Sunday 13th January re-routing Service 5 up Glamis Road and Dickson Avenue and away from Perth Road west of Glamis Road.

I will continue to press Xplore to think again over this change as it disadvantages a large community in the western end of Perth Road.

However, in better news, the Stagecoach Service X54 is now stopping on Perth Road at Millbay Terrace and Clayhills Grove, meaning that – at last – there is a stopping bus service on Perth Road west of Ninewells Avenue.



Distracted by Christmas

Tomorrow – Friday 14th December – and on Saturday :

Distracted by Christmas – at Platform Arts, Riverside Drive.

An original comedy with the highs and lows of Christmas – the lists, the shopping, the baking, the cooking, the decorating, the expectations … the distractions that can overwhelm and overtake the real meaning of Christmas.  

Come prepared to laugh!

It starts at 8pm and is free of charge but reservations recommended by emailing info@newscottish.org
