Tuesday activities

Yesterday, I attended the Balgay Stakeholders' Group meeting along with one of my councillor ward colleagues.   The stakeholders' group is a quarterly get-together of Leisure & Communities Department officers, Friends of Balgay and local councillors to discuss issues at Balgay Park, enhancements and improvements.    We had a very productive and useful discussion about lighting in the park (with good progress on plans to improve lighting in the park), signage/information boards, footpaths and other matters.

I also attended the Dundee Civic Forum AGM at the City Chambers in the evening, at which there was a very informative presentation by Alistair Macleod of Solar Cities Scotland on the Community Carbon Exchange, its aims and progress with this community led carbon reduction project.
