The council has recently prepared a feedback summary report for the Broughty Ferry flood protection scheme. There is a dedicated webpage
for the scheme on the council’s website, which will be updated with information
as it becomes available. The feedback report is also available on the
website. A public exhibition and a presentation
to the community council were undertaken in June to outline the aims of the
project and the reasons behind the initial design. It’s estimated that more than
200 people attended over the two events.
The report states that that the
project was generally well received, although a number of concerns were raised
and the project engineers are now undertaking activities to develop the design
further and address some of the feedback. I was heartened to read in the report that the
look and finish will be vital to the success of the project and also comments about
delivering the project to a high quality standard and sympathetic to the unique
setting of the area. These things are essential
to protect the character of Broughty Ferry’s waterfront. It is hoped to release
further information quite soon that will provide an opportunity to collect
further comments.
Once the scheme details are
determined formal notice requires to be given of the council’s intention to
promote a flood protection scheme. Following notification there is a minimum
period of 28 days allowed for any person to make objections.
