It has been brought to my attention by constituents that there is no bus stop on Victoria Street across from Wallacetown Health Centre.
One of the reasons that the outer circle bus service was brought back was in response to the concerns highlighted about the difficulty older residents in Barnhill and Forthill were having in accessing medical and dental practices in the Stobswell area. However anyone who has to attend Wallacetown Health Centre has to alight at either the stop before on Arbroath Road at Kemback Street or the stop after on Victoria Road. There is a stop nearby at Brown Constable Street for the journey home.
I raised the matter with the council’s head of transportation and I have been advised that there is a bus bay marking on the road heading towards the city centre at Crescent Street, but the bus pole is not there.
A number of bus stop poles are to be either reinstated or removed around Dundee and Victoria Street has been added to the list of works. I have been assured that it will be one of the first to be attended to.
