Squint Signs, Skateparks and updates

Firstly, thanks to the local resident who has sent me a photo set of street signs etc from the Sinderins area which show clearly the extent of squint signs at and near the junction (see example, right). This is an issue I have raised in the past, but have taken up again with appropriate departments.
.
Today I visited Dudhope Park which was the venue for the Parklife Launch Event - a picnic of action and music. Another lovely day and it was really good to see how well-used the new outdoor skatepark is. Following on from complaints from people about skateboarding in parts of the City Centre, I have been very supportive of this project and good to see it come to fruition. Next mission must be to get lighting installed.

The Parklife event had the support of the BBC - with the Radio 1 Big Weekend taking place next weekend - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend06/.
