Weekly Road Report – West End Ward #dundeewestend

Getting things done – Pentland #dundeewestend

Residents in Pentland Crescent and Pentland Avenue have asked me why they currently do not get offered a brown bin garden waste collection.

I raised this with the City Council and received the following positive response from the Service Manager – Waste Management in Neighbourhood Services :

” … neither Pentland Avenue or Crescent appear on our current brown bin routes.

However, going forward, I can’t see any reason why they would be excluded. 

I’ll discuss with the routing team to ensure they are sent appropriate information prior to the permitting scheme going live so they can participate if they so wish. 

This would also be the case for flats.”

While it is good that a brown bin collection will be offered in the future, this clearly will not be the case until the £35 charge per bin is introduced in March 2020.

I reiterate that introducing a charge for recycling garden waste is a retrograde step that will not help the city reach its recycling targets.


Getting things done – Hawkhill #dundeewestend

Following residents’ complaints as to how overgrown the Hawkhill is on its north side east of the Bellfield Street junction, I have raised this with the City Council :


I have also raised the need to tidy and remove litter on Hawkhill on its south side at the top of the Pennycook car park.


Miller’s Wynd car park update #dundeewestend

Following the recent opening of the West End Community Fridge, I have been in further discussion with the Service Manager – Environment in the council’s Neighbourhood Services to get the promised improvements at the Miller’s Wynd car park undertaken.

I am therefore pleased to have been advised that the walling repairs and removal of weeds have now taken place :
