We received complaints recently that the paths to the Tullideph sheltered lounge have not been maintained – loads of weeds and the shrubs not maintained.
The tenants who raised this with us highlighted the health and safety hazard given the slope downhill to the complex.
We raised this with the City Council and received assurances that this would be attended to as a matter of urgency.
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.”
