Further flooding defence works at Riverside #dundeewestend

The council’s City Development Committee agreed to further flooding defence works at Riverside.      This will cover the western section from the Bridgeview Station Restaurant to the airport;   as residents will be aware the area east of this was completed at the start of 2018.

The Team Leader in the council’s infrastucture team has updated me as follows :

“The works generally consist of repointing the existing sea wall, replacing existing damaged stone copes and resurfacing the existing car parking area directly in front of the new flood-defence set-back wall.  Works also include the installation of a new footpath and drainage directly behind the wall. 

Works are currently programmed to commence on-site in February 2020 and will be completed by June 2020.”

As I have long campaigned for car park improvements for the section of parking west of the main public car park, the inclusion of surfacing it is very welcome.

Details of the area of the flooding defence works is given below :




Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend

A number of elderly constituents have raised with me how welcome it would be to have a bus shelter on the north side of Perth Road at the bus stop a little east of opposite the Seafield Road junction.

I raised this with the Parking and Sustainable Transport Team Leader at the City Council who advises :

“A quick look at the street layout indicates that without a redesign of the footway, there isn’t sufficient space at this stop for a bus shelter.   

Notwithstanding, we’ll add it to our list of ‘shelter requests’ and score it in due course to see where it ranks against other requests for bus shelters.”

Getting things done – Forest Park Road #dundeewestend

I have had further complaints about recurring litter strewn right along the west side of Forest Park Road.

I have asked the local environment manager if the litter here can be tidied up.

As this is not the first time I have raised this problem in Forest Park Road, I have also asked that more attention is given to the state of the street here.
