Getting things done – Paton’s Lane #dundeewestend

Following complaints from residents about the state of the pathway at the north end of Paton’s Lane that runs to Perth Road – including weeds and dumped shopping trolleys – I raised this with the City Council and the Area Manager in Neighbourhood Services’ Environmental Management Section has since advised :

“The path has been treated with weedkiller and the shopping trolleys … removed.”

Getting things done – Ancrum Drive #dundeewestend

I recently received concerns from residents about the state of the area around the lock-ups in Ancrum Drive.

These are managed by Hillcrest Housing Association and, having contacted the association, I have been advised that it has agreed to :

• Strim back overgrown weeds around the site
• Remove graffiti from two garage doors
• Attend to leaking downpipe and clean out gutters
