I have received concerns about the amount of rubbish floating in Invergowrie Bay - shopping trolleys, tyres, traffic cones and other items forming part of the shared habitat with the local bird life, a real concern.
Please see photos below (with thanks to my colleague and local resident Denis Taylor) :
I am advised that this part of the bay - right on the boundary between the Dundee and Perth & Kinross council areas - is on tidal land owned by the Crown Estates who have been contacted by Dundee City Council regarding the need for a clean-up of the bay area.
I am pleased that Dundee Airport has agreed to assist with this. It should be noted that some of the clean-up may have to take place after the end of the breeding season as there are breeding birds on the upper shore.
