Getting things done – Roseangle/Magdalen Green area #dundeewestend


Residents have mentioned to me that it would be a boon to have some outdoor gym equipment in the Roseangle/Magdalen Green area, as is already in situ elsewhere in the city – eg Camperdown and Stobsmuir parks.

I took this up with the Service Manager – Environment at the City Council who positively advised me as follows :

” …  whilst we have no plans to instal gym equipment at this time, I am happy to include this for future consideration within capital development plans.”
