The January meeting of Broughty Ferry
Community Council was addressed by Dundee City Council’s senior engineer with responsibility
for taking forward the council’s flood defence and coastal erosion protection
measures along Dundee’s coastline. He spoke about the proposals for the dunes
on The Esplanade, which is currently subject of a planning application. A lot of residents
from The Esplanade were present and raised a number of issues. The community council
felt that a separate public meeting would be helpful to allow people sufficient
time to look through drawings and ask questions of the council engineers.
In response to its request a public
event will now be held on Wednesday 21 January between 2pm and 8pm at Castle
Green Pavilion. As a consequence the public consultation period for commenting
on the application is to be extended until Wednesday 4 February at 5pm. Further
information in respect of the proposal is available to view on the council’s
planning portal.
