Last couple of days has seen quite a few local issues reported by constituents and raised by me with the City Council - a recurring theme - roads & pavements - but having spoken with a representative of Scotland Gas Networks today the good news is that the very last of the works in Roseangle are being completed and (given a couple of days for setts to fully set - pardon the pun) the last of the works should be away by Friday at the very latest. Other issues include road and pavement issues in Step Row and Thomson Street.
Also some useful discussions on HMO issues and the consultation on draft supplementary guidance being proposed by the Council - see http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/hmos/.
Tonight was spent at the Blackness Area Residents' Association AGM, which went very well, with over 30 attending. I had agreed to chair the actual AGM itself. Only potential disaster was that the bingo machine for the bingo after the AGM was locked away in error, so we ended up resorting to an improvised "machine" (90 bits of numbered paper with my bad handwriting and a waste paper basket!) Still, it worked OK! The meeting had input from the Chair of Dundee Federation of Tenants' Association and two Housing Department staff, and there was a really useful question & answer session.
No blogging tomorrow - in Edinburgh with day job but very early morning helping LibDem colleagues in Glasgow deliver polling day leaflets at King's Park Ward by-election.
