Roadworks on Twitter!

Last week I updated residents about the impending roadworks on East Dock Street and Broughty Ferry Road and their potential impact on the West End as trunk traffic from the Tay Road Bridge going north of Dundee will be diverted via Riverside Drive and the Swallow Roundabout (click on headline to view earlier story).

At
the briefing meeting I attended last week, we were advised that Twitter would be used as one means of updating residents and the site is now up and running at http://twitter.com/A92_EastDock_St

Whilst this is an innovative approach by BEAR Scotland, I am pleased to say that, in a more conventional sense, they have also produced explanatory leaflets, have press advertising of the roadworks and are issuing regular news releases too.
