Getting things done – West Park Road #dundeewestend


We have received numerous complaints about the deteriorating state of the road surface in West Park Road at its north end – particularly north of the Beechwood Terrace junction.

We contacted the Roads Maintenance Partnership about this and have received a positive response being advised that West Park Road is included in this year’s carriageway programme for ‘targeted’ structural inlay repairs which will greatly improve the road surface.

We sought clarity around which part of the road was to be ‘targeted’ for the repairs and have been advised “… areas at the north end of West Park Road will be included as budgets permit.“
