Lots
of interesting issues discussed and matters progressed at November’s quarterly
meeting of The Ferry Local Community Planning Partnership.There
was an update on the rollout of the council’s waste and recycling collection service
which is scheduled to reach Broughty Ferry in spring of next year (the
reconfiguration of the original phases). There was also a proposal on the best
way to look at and approve grants from the Ferry’s Dundee Partnership funds.
Organisations
gave their updates and on behalf of Ferrytime I reminded everyone about the pop
up shop at 39 Gray Street starting next week to 9 December and I was also delighted
to report the good news that the timebank has received a grant from the
National Lottery. It will ensure that Ferrytime, Dundee’s only remaining
timebank, will continue to arrange volunteering exchanges for another year.
I
was pleased to hear about the progress that’s been made on the multi-use games
area at Gillies Park and that steps are being taken to replace the all-weather
pitch at Dawson Park.
There
was an update on the community infrastructure fund; the feasibility of twelve
proposals are currently being investigated and costed, with 5 likely to go forward
to a vote. There will be a public event in February where residents will be
able to view the proposals. Voting for projects will take place at the end of
March.
Community
planning partnership meetings are open to the public. The next meeting is due
to be held on 22 February 2018.
