Getting things done – Riverside Approach #dundeewestend

Residents have raised with us the very poor state of the railings in Riverside Approach around the rail bridge there.


The City Engineer advises us that :

“The wrought/cast iron sections are likely to be Dundee City Council’s. The timber sections facing the Tay Rail Bridge are Network Rail’s.”


His team has kindly agreed to approach Community Justice Services to hopefully get a project put together to have the railings brought back to standard.


Environmental improvements for Perth Road area #dundeewestend

Residents may recall that some months ago, Fraser took part in a walkabout around the Perth Road district shopping centre, the purpose of which was to look at possible environmental improvements that could be funded through the Town Centre Fund.

In terms of possible viable projects, three were identified – Pennycook Lane outside the police station, the Miller’s Wynd car park and area around the West End Community Fridge and the Sinderins “triangle.”

The council’s City Development Department has now created “concept drawings” for Miller’s Wynd and Pennycook Lane (Sinderins “triangle” to follow) and these are shown in the photos below.   These are initial ideas, not the final design.

Feedback from residents would be appreciated and the subject will be discussed at tonight’s West End Community Council meeting, taking place at 7pm in Logie & St John’s (Cross) Church Hall – Shaftesbury Terrace – all welcome.
