Getting things done – Paton’s Lane #dundeewestend


I have recently assisted with a couple of issues in Paton’s Lane :

+ Last week an elderly resident slipped on grit on the pavement near to the Paton’s Lane Abertay Housing Association retirement housing.    She was thankfully not badly hurt but I asked the council’s environment management to have the pavement swept and the grit removed.

+ The pathway that runs from towards the top of Paton’s Lane to Perth Road, slightly west of the main road junction, is well used by residents but is overgrown and has litter in it.   Again I asked the City Council to have it tidied.



Keeping hundreds more out of hospital – why every jab counts

A drive to increase Northern Ireland’s vaccine take-up rate could reduce hospital admissions by as much as 50% this summer.



Getting things done – Corso Street #dundeewestend


Many thanks to the residents who recently contacted me about this leaking/mess on the pavement in Corso Street.

I reported this to environment management at the City Council to ensure it is attended to.
