Over a lengthy period, residents have contacted us about the deteriorating state of the road surface in Shaftesbury Park - see photos.
Although, at our request, localised repairs have taken place over time, we asked the council's Roads Maintenance Partnership if resurfacing could be considered in a future roads capital programme.
The partnership's manager recently advised us that it was piloting a thin overlay solution elsewhere in the city and if successful, it would allow for resurfacing of Shaftesbury Park during September.
He has now advised us :
"We were successful in our thin overlay scheme elsewhere in the city. Therefore, the works at Shaftesbury Park will be going ahead."
This is great news and we publish the temporary traffic order about the works below :
THE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 - SECTION 14(1)
THE DUNDEE CITY COUNCIL AS TRAFFIC AUTHORITY being satisfied that traffic on the road should be prohibited by reason of carriageway resurfacing works being carried out HEREBY PROHIBIT the driving of any vehicle in Shaftesbury Park for its entire length.
This notice comes into effect on Monday 8th September 2025 for five working days.
Pedestrian thoroughfare will be maintained.
Vehicular access for residents will be maintained where possible.
As this road forms a cul de sac no diversion is available.
