I recently have been contacted by residents who, noting recent tree and bush cutting along Perth Road near the WL Gore site, asked if this could be extended to Ninewells Avenue.

As one resident pointed out :

“It would be ideal to see this happen up both sides of Ninewells Avenue. The trees and bushes continue to obscure parts of the path on both sides. Some are very very overgrown.”

I contacted environment management at the City Council and have now been updated as follows :

“This is work that our contracts team are carrying out for City Development.   It is for improving the sightlines and general improvements to the Green Circular.

“Unfortunately, there are no plans to extend the work to Ninewells Avenue.   However as you have brought it to our attention we can add this to our routine maintenance later this year.”

The Dundee Adult Employability Team is Dundee City Council’s employability service and undertakes great work working with people to get them back into the workforce – particularly vital at this challenging time.

The team has recently launched a new leaflet about its services that you can see below.

You can read more about the team’s work here.
