A few more West End issues ...

Firstly, a bit of good news! To quote blog on 29th June :

"Following complaints, I have raised the concerns about the high shruberry on the roundabout at Riverside Drive/Avenue (near Marmalade Pot) - very difficult for drivers coming roundabout to see pedestrians - have raised this concern with the Planning & Transportation Department."

Good news is that the Council has now advised me that it has asked Dundee Contract Services to trim the shrubbery - hope its done soon.

Other issues :
  • Sinderins - Following the complaints about squint signs etc, the situation has been much improved with the new traffic lights, but I have now reminded the City Council about the very squint "No Entry" sign (at roadway leading from Hawkhill, just west of Rosebud shop) - also mentioned the need to improve seating/litterbin here.
  • Have asked Network Rail for on-site meeting to sort the replacement fencing in Riverside Appoach (ie - let's get rid of the horrible blue boards!)
  • There's an on-going discussion between Planning & Transportation & Waste Management Departments about providing litter bins near bus stops. Pending the outcome, I have asked Waste Management for litter bins at the bus stops opposite both River Crescent & Riverside Place (on Perth Road) given resident requests.
