Getting things done – Middlebank Crescent #dundeewestend
We recently received complaints about the deteriorating condition of parts of the roadway of Middlebank Crescent.
We raised this with the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and have received this helpful reply :
“Pothole repairs will be carried out.”
Getting things done – Greater Balgay #dundeewestend
Residents recently highlighted to us that this large branch that broke off a tree at Balgay Hill during Storm Arwen. It was on the south side of the path near the observatory.
We raised this with environment management at the City Council and this has now been attended to.
At the council’s Neighbourhood Services Committee recently, Michael welcomed news that the council has secured £54 000 funding from “Woodlands in and about town” awards. This will allow for further forestry works, paths improvements and signage at Balgay.
