The City Development Department is proposing to install Manchester bollards at the top of the slipway at the Gray Street end of Beach Crescent.
The intention is to have them in place in the next two to three months and the proposal has been circulated to the members of the Broughty Ferry Community Planning Partnership for comment. The bollards will be removable in case the slipway needs to be used in the future.
There is space at the top of the slipway for three or four cars to park and there have been occasions when vehicles have rolled down the slipway banging into the railings at the bottom. I have observed children here a few times watching the swans, so there could be serious consequences. The bollards will allow vehicles to park safely and prevent this from happening.
