These are very welcome – I have been raising many of these with the City Council repeatedly on behalf of residents. However, this does not go nearly as far as is required for the West End in terms of getting all our roads and footpaths up to standard.
At the 2021 Dundee City Council budget meeting, my colleague and I presented an alternative budget which would have seen an extra £2 million capital spending over the next year on roads resurfacing.
We believe a substantial increase in roads resurfacing is necessary to tackle worn and potholed local roads.
Unfortunately, none of the other parties supported our £2 million additional spending despite it being fully costed, but I will continue to pursue improving road condition across the West End.
