Getting things done – Eton Street #dundeewestend

Residents recently highlighted to us the deterioration in part of the road surface at Eton Street – see photo :

We reported this to the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and have since received this helpful reply :

“Thank you for your report.    An order has been raised for repairs to be carried out.”




Magdalen Green band concert tomorrow! #dundeewestend

The Forfar Instrumental Band is playing at Magdalen Green tomorrow!




Getting things done – West Port #dundeewestend

Residents have highlighted to us that the pyramid artwork on the West Port needs some TLC. 


The paintwork around it badly needs a repaint and the area spruced up.

We raised this with the Executive Director of City Development at the council who has asked the public art officer to see what can be done to improve this, which is welcome.
