Getting things done – West Park Road #dundeewestend


We have received numerous complaints about the deteriorating state of the road surface in West Park Road at its north end – particularly north of the Beechwood Terrace junction.

We contacted the Roads Maintenance Partnership about this and have received a positive response being advised that West Park Road is included in this year’s carriageway programme for ‘targeted’ structural inlay repairs which will greatly improve the road surface.

We sought clarity around which part of the road was to be ‘targeted’ for the repairs and have been advised “… areas at the north end of West Park Road will be included as budgets permit.“


Getting things done – Tullideph sheltered lounge #dundeewestend

We received complaints recently that the paths to the Tullideph sheltered lounge have not been maintained – loads of weeds and the shrubs not maintained.

The tenants who raised this with us highlighted the health and safety hazard given the slope downhill to the complex.
We raised this with the City Council and received assurances that this would be attended to as a matter of urgency.
