The condition of the wall on Dundee Road above the railway
line embankment and between the two railway bridges that lead to Brook Street
and Douglas Terrace was recently brought to my attention, particularly the
section near to the bus stop. I asked the city engineer’s office if an inspection
could be arranged and this has since been carried out.
I am advised that localised repointing (and weeding!) along
its length is required and isolated stones replaced, none of which are
considered to be immediate safety concerns.
The bridges bookending the wall are in Network Rail
ownership but I understand that responsibility for the wall is not so apparent;
it might be that the council is responsible for it. The matter will be progressed
once ownership has been determined.
