Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend


Many thanks to the residents who recently highlighted to me that one of the two bollards on Perth Road near the bottom of Ryehill Lane (just west of Dil Se restaurant) was missing.

I reported this to the Roads Maintenance Partnership and also asked them to repair the grating adjacent to the bollards as it was knocked off and needed reinstated.



Event at the Botanic Garden for the under 5s #dundeewestend

Next Saturday – 26th February at the Botanic Garden (11.45am to 12.15pm) :


Teeny Weeney

A joyful and heartfelt show for under 5s and their families.

Big Bug has one job and one job only – gathering leaves. He gathers leaves all day, every day.

That’s until Wee Bug comes along. They start exploring Big Bug’s terrain and all the fascinating objects hidden there. Uh oh – Big Bug doesn’t like change! Can he break out of his old routine and learn to make a new friend?

Meanwhile, Wee Bug dreams of flying. They long to soar, float and sail across the breeze. Will Big Bug help Wee Bug find their wings?

Join them in their Teeny Weeny world as they transform and learn that change is good and friends don’t always have to be the same.

Commissioned by Starcatchers.

Teeny Weeny is an outdoor show and you can read more at :

Getting things done – grass area at Oxford Street/Elliot Road/Cambridge Street/Eton Street #dundeewestend


Residents highlighted to me at the weekend that, following Storm Arwen before Christmas, two felled and cut up Cypress trees are sitting at the grass playing field area at Oxford Street/Elliot Road/Cambridge Street/Eton Street, awaiting uplift.

I raised this with the council’s Senior Forestry and Arboricultural Officer who has helpfully responded as follows :

“I can confirm that the two Cypress trees extracted to the playing fields from Glamis Road Storm Blockage will be removed this week.”
