Getting things done – Balgay Park #dundeewestend


Residents recently highlighted to me concerns about speeding motor bikes and scrambler bikes going through Balgay Park.

I raised this concern with both the City Council and Police Scotland and have received this helpful update from our local community police sergeant :

“Thank you for bringing the below to our attention.

We will bear this in mind when out on foot patrol and deal with any issues we come across in an appropriate fashion.

I have also advised the Divisional Road Policing Unit Inspector so that traffic vehicles can bear this area in mind when out on patrol.”

Many thanks to the residents who recently highlighted to me the significant damage to the community noticeboard at the Mitchell Street Centre – situated at the junction of Lochee Road and Mitchell Street.

I raised this with the City Council and have since had the following helpful feedback :

“I can confirm that an order was processed for our blacksmith and joiner to carry out required repairs.”
