Riverside updates

As reported in today's Courier, I have been back in touch with the City Council's Waste Management Department for an update on the proposed Riverside Nature Park around the civic amenity site.

I have been told that the City Council has recently had a meeting with Scottish Government and SEPA which was productive.

There are, as a result, two meetings arranged in the near future between the City Council and SEPA in order to plan the way forward.

The Head of Waste Management has agreed to meet me after these meetings have taken place to discuss what progress has been made.
As I receive very regular comments from residents saying they'd very much like to see progress towards opening the site to the public, it is good to see some positive moves towards this.

Further east along Riverside Drive, following concerns raised by West End Community Council, I have asked that the lighting on the south side - opposite the former Homebase site - is checked as some of it appears damaged. The street lighting team is investigating this.
