Getting things done – Hawkhill by-pass #dundeewestend

Residents have expressed concern to me about how overgrown the north side of the Hawkhill by-pass is – see below :
This is unsightly and detracts from the adjacent nicely maintained planted/seating area at the Bellfield Street/Hawkhill junction, opposite the Whitehall Theatre.

I have asked the council’s environment management in Neighbourhood Services if this can be attended to.

Wighton Heritage Centre, Central Library 
For the second of our Year of Young People Lunchtime Recitals,  the Ciar Milne Trio play at the Wighton Centre today – Wednesday 1st August – 1.15pm to 1.45pm.

These three very talented Dundee school pupils – Dundee music maestro Kenny Christie describes them as “fab”- are Ciar Milne, small/border pipes, Hannah Dineen, fiddle, and Robbie Lamond, guitar.
Hannah and Ciar have been playing together since September 2017. As well as playing in the Dundee Schools’ Spring Concerts, they played in Würzburg, Germany in May, as part the Dundee-Würzburg twinning programme. Since then, the trio has been doing gigs for Dundee City Council including the Educational Institute of Scotland’s Annual General Meeting and the World Kanzen Karate Championships President’s Dinner.
Admission is free though our shiny pink piggy-bank will be happy to receive donations!
