LCPP meeting - outcomes

Yesterday, I mentioned that the West End Local Community Planning Partnership meeting was taking place last night.

It was a very productive meeting, and in addition to an interesting presentation on Dundee Waterfront, there was agreement on a joint initiative between Tayside Police, Tayside Fire and Rescue and the City Council's Housing Department to promote grant aid to encourage controlled entry for flatted properties in the West End.

Additionally, there was an update on progress about road safety in Pentland, following the site visit I participated in back in June - improvements in Pentland Crescent look possible, subject to funding availability.

I also raised concerns about dumped furniture in the back areas of tenements in parts of the area - particularly as these can be a fire hazard concern.
