Getting things done – Lochee Park – an update #dundeewestend

Residents recall my update in March giving the positive response I had received from the City Council’s environment management team about installing further picnic tables at Lochee Park.


I was advised at the time that delivery was to be taking place soon so, last week, I sought an update on installation.

The Project Officer in the council’s Neighbourhood Services team has now updated me as follows :

“I met with a colleague last week and agreed the positions for two picnic benches.

I have since instructed our chargehand to install concrete bases for the benches. We have the benches in stock at Caird Park.

Once installed, hopefully next week, the concrete will require at least a week to cure before drilling and bolting down the benches.

Therefore approx 2 to 3 weeks for the bench fitting.”
