Getting things done – Pennycook Lane #dundeewestend

I have recently had a number of concerns about the state of the road surface in Pennycook Lane, including this resident’s comment :

“I was hoping you could possibly find out if the many potholes that are now on the road leading to the car park would be getting filled in. 

They are worse than last year and bigger.”

I have therefore wrote to the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership requseting repairs and have now received the following helpful reply :

“An order has been raised for repairs to be carried out.”



Getting things done – rail line at Magdalen Green #dundeewestend

Network Rail recently cut back the vegetation on one side of the rail line at Magdalen Green and residents asked me if the company intended doing this welcome work on the other side of the line.

I contacted Network Rail and have had the following helpful response :
“Thank you for contacting us about the vegetation on our land at Magdalen Green, Dundee.

I can confirm that there are plans to cut back the vegetation on other side of the railway.

I cannot give you an exact date for this, but it is in our programme of work to be done.”



Getting things done – Lower Pleasance #dundeewestend

I have recently received several complaints from residents about the extent of graffiti in the Lower Pleasance area, some of which has offensive content.


I have raised this with the City Council’s Rapid Response Team requesting that it is removed.


Getting things done – Balgay Hill #dundeewestend

Residents have highlighted to me that, following several trees being felled up Balgay Hill in recent months, the safety barriers have been left behind.


I have therefore raised this with the environment management team at the City Council who have advised as follows :

“The fencing was put in place as a safety measure because of the damage to the footpaths by the windblown Corsican Pine trees. As the trees were blown parts of the path had lifted causing a safety issue and the fences were put in place to prevent direct access.

I can only assume the fence had fallen or had been pushed over. 

I am led to believe that heavy plant machinery will be on site this week to rectify the footpath. In the short term I will request that staff reposition the fence.”
