Getting things done – St Peter Street #dundeewestend

Residents contacted us to say that the siting of recycling bins in front of the mural at St Peter Street was inappropriate as these could be easily sited away from the mural.

We raised this with environment management at the City Council and received the following helpful response :

“I’ve arranged for the two recycling eurobins to be relocated directly across the road from where they are currently situated. The food waste unit will also be moved east of its current location, leaving the mural wall clear from bins.”
