I was visited at my surgery on Saturday by constituents
who were concerned to see that the Age Concern building in Brook Street has
been put up for sale. Age Concern provides support, care, information, learning
opportunities, leisure activities and support services for older people in and
around Dundee. Its Broughty Ferry premises were opened in 1964.
I spoke to a representative of Age
Concern about it yesterday and it seems that the maintenance cost of the building
and the number of people using the service in Broughty Ferry make the continued
use of the premises unsustainable. However the organisation will remain in
Broughty Ferry as it is seeking to relocate to other premises.
