A beautiful West End garden! #dundeewestend

Many thanks to Mr James Stirton of Hyndford Place for sending us photos of his beautiful front garden, which he has again taken part in the City Council’s garden and allotment competition.


Mr Stirton also takes part in vegetable exhibitions too.


Getting things done – Annfield Street #dundeewestend


Michael is pictured in Annfield Street at one of the benches.    

We received complaints from residents that this needs an upgrade given its delapidated condition.

We have therefore taken this up with environment management at the City Council.



Getting things done – Pentland Avenue and Saggar Street #dundeewestend

Fraser is pictured at the wall at the junction of Pentland Avenue and Saggar Street.


Unfortunately it has been damaged – residents advised us by a vehicle – and requires repair.

We therefore raised this with the housing repairs manager at Dundee City Council and have now received confirmation that an Order has been raised for repairs.

Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend

Residents have pointed out to us that bus service 39 could perhaps serve the western end of Perth Road, where there may be more potential usage, rather than Mallaig Avenue and Explorer Road. 


It would also assist tackle the dearth of public transport at the far west end of Perth Road.

We raised this with the Managing Director of Stagecoach East Scotland who has replied positively as follows :

“I’m pleased to be able to say that we will be offering some journeys on service 39 via this part of Perth Road when our timetables change on 3rd October. 

Details of the new timetables will be out approximately two weeks prior to that so information will be available from either our website stagecoachbus.com, the Stagecoach bus app or from our customer services team on 0345 241 8000.”
