The show features stunning and thought-provoking examples of Animation, Comics & Graphic Novels, Graphic Design, Illustration, Jewellery & Metal Design and Textile Design.
The free-to-attend exhibition is part of Dundee Month of Design and more details are available at www.dundee.ac.uk/events/decade-design, including opening hours.

Getting things done - Lochee Park #dundeewestend
We recently received concerns about some of the play equipment at the Lochee Park playpark - for example, the yellow see saw was not working properly very squeaky.
"Our playgrounds team have called into the playpark to inspect and they have carried
out a repair to the yellow seesaw and this play equipment is now fully
functionable.
With regard to the roundabout, we have discovered an issue with the roundabout bearings and these require replacement. Replacement parts have been ordered and once they arrive the needed repair will be carried out."
