Environmental improvements for Perth Road area #dundeewestend

Residents may recall that some months ago, Fraser took part in a walkabout around the Perth Road district shopping centre, the purpose of which was to look at possible environmental improvements that could be funded through the Town Centre Fund.

In terms of possible viable projects, three were identified – Pennycook Lane outside the police station, the Miller’s Wynd car park and area around the West End Community Fridge and the Sinderins “triangle.”

The council’s City Development Department has now created “concept drawings” for Miller’s Wynd and Pennycook Lane (Sinderins “triangle” to follow) and these are shown in the photos below.   These are initial ideas, not the final design.

Feedback from residents would be appreciated and the subject will be discussed at tonight’s West End Community Council meeting, taking place at 7pm in Logie & St John’s (Cross) Church Hall – Shaftesbury Terrace – all welcome.

Getting things done – Seabraes viewing area #dundeewestend

We recently had a query regarding the redevelopment of the Seabraes viewing area.


The path surfacing was looking odd as new black tarmac was placed on a section of the path (see photo) which looked poor next to the original buff colour.

We contacted the council’s Projects Team Leader who reassured us as follows :

“The buff resin bond surfacing is due to be laid around the benches. It should be noted that the new resin bond colour will appear brighter than the original surfacing due to weathering but will blend in over time.”
