Getting things done – Hillside Place #dundeewestend

We have received concerns about the deteriorating condition of the road surface in Hillside Place.

We have therefore contacted the Roads Maintenance Partnership seeking repairs.

Meantime, we have been assured that the junction of Hillside Drive / Hillside Road will be resurfaced in the near future.

Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend

Residents have contacted us about the poor state of the BT phone box in Perth Road at the Miller’s Wynd car park. Fraser is pictured at the box which is in a poor state of cleanliness.

We contacted BT about this who advised :

“I will arrange for the kiosk to be cleaned within the next 5 working days.”

We also asked if the company would consider changing the phone box to a ‘red heritage style’ traditional phone box as many residents have said this would be more in keeping with the conservation area.

However, the BT response was not positive on that aspect as the company says it will never replace phone boxes like this one with the red boxes – a disappointing response.

Getting things done – Glenagnes Road #dundeewestend

Fencing along part of the east side of Glenagnes Road down from the West End schools campus has been log deteriorated and the land behind it is very overgrown and unsightly.

Residents asked us to try to find out who is in ownership and, with thanks to the council’s Private Sector Services Unit, ownership has been traced and the agent asked to have the fence replaced and the land tidied.
