I
was recently asked about the condition of the sea wall at Douglas Terrace, particularly
the section near to Church Street. I contacted the city engineer about it and
was advised that the area has been inspected and is safe at this time and the
situation will continue to be monitored.
The
whole of Dundee's coastline is surveyed every year to identify defects and
subsequent repairs required. In recent years a number of repairs have been
carried out to the sea wall between Douglas Terrace and Broughty Castle.
Dundee
City Council is preparing to improve the coastal defences along the whole of
the Broughty Ferry frontage as part of its requirement, like other Scottish local
authorities, to reduce flood risk from all sources. It is expected that these
works will be progressed over the next few years subject to availability of
Scottish Government grant funding and satisfactory completion of statutory procedures.
