One of the things I am particularly keen on is seeing improvements to our open spaces. We are blessed in Broughty Ferry with some beautiful locations. I quite often walk up Reres Hill, although these days, not being as fit as I once was, it takes a bit more effort than it used to! It is a lovely wooded area and there are a number of footpaths. Some of them though are in a poor condition and need a bit of work done to them. Broughty Ferry Development Trust has been active in highlighting issues in the park and working in partnership with the council’s neighbourhood services department a number of matters have been attended to.
It
was established by the Trust that the path on the west side is perhaps the busiest
in the park, although due to its condition there had been some thought given in
the past to taking it out of use. I was recently advised by the council’s city
development department that repairs to the path and steps have provisionally
been included in the next financial year’s programme of works. The cost and
extent of the works have still to be finalised but hopefully a decent stretch
will be taken care of.
