Residents will have noticed the
removal of the hedge at Queen Street Car Park. I contacted the council’s
Neighbourhood Services Department about it when I saw it had been taken down and
was advised that it will be replaced with a yew hedge, which I understand
is a good maintenance-friendly hedge. A post and wire fence will be put up, with
the new hedge planting scheduled for next week.
There are plans to site an
electric vehicle charging hub at this side of the car park and I'm told that the replacement
of the hedge will assist with the overall plan for the charging hub, including
a covered enclosure. Neighbourhood Services had been looking at doing something
with the hedge before the hub designs were created and had discussed it at Broughty Ferry
Community Council and the local community planning partnership. Nevertheless it
still came as a surprise to to see it gone.
