Last night I attended the monthly meeting of Broughty Ferry Community Council. There were quite a number of people present and the meeting heard from Cllr. Craig Melville, convenor of Dundee City Council’s environment committee and Ken Laing, director of the environment department. Both had been invited along to address the community council and answer questions on the changes to the city council’s recycling centres.
I updated the meeting on recent measures taken by the city council regarding the speed limit on Dundee Road and the sale of the former Eastern Primary School site. I also reported back on the request for additional toddler swings at Castle Green.
On Monday I attended a meeting of Forthill Tenants Association. John Wolstencroft, from the council’s housing department was present to talk about the consultation on the revised letting policy. The closing date for the consultation has been extended to the end of September to give everyone who wishes to do so the opportunity to make their views known.
I reported back to the meeting about action being taken to bring up to a maintainable standard a few over-grown plots of land and the removal of a couple of Anderson shelters which had been used as sheds but are now in a very poor state of repair.
