I attended a meeting of Broughty Ferry Community Council tonight in Broughty Ferry Library. A standing item on the agenda is councillors’ reports and in my contribution I mentioned:
• The ‘30mph speed limit in force’ signs that are to be installed on Monifieth Road to ensure that drivers are aware of the recently reduced speed limit.
• The legal process to reduce the speed limit on Dundee Road to 30mph should be concluded late summer.
• The council action plan for promoting bowling in the city.
• The feasibility study to be carried out with a view to developing a high quality tennis coaching facility at Dawson Park.
• The new street lighting being installed at various locations.
• The resurfacing of the badly worn and rutted carriageway in Claypotts Road
• The adopted and unadopted pavements being resurfaced in this financial year.
• The funding application made by the council to Sustrans with the intention of extending the cycle path from the recently completed Douglas Terrace coastal path into Lower Broughty Ferry Road.
• The periodic review of parking restrictions that is to be carried out in Broughty Ferry including consideration of waiting restrictions near to the Dundee Road railway bridge where a number of advertising vehicles are continuously parked.
The community council meets on the first Tuesday of the month. Its role is to help to make Dundee City Council and other public bodies aware of the opinions of the local community. A link to its web page is at the foot of this page.
