Last night, I attended the quarterly West End Local Community Planning Partnership meeting at the Tartan Coffee House in Perth Road. This is a good opportunity for representatives from different council departments, councillors and representatives from other organisations like police, fire and rescue and the NHS to discuss local issues and matters of concern and also let local residents raise issues, ask questions and have their say.
It was a very productive meeting, stretching over two and a half hours and covering many issues. There was an excellent presentation on Community Payback Orders, discussions about derelict buildings, residents' parking, the new local community plan for the West End and the consultation process, refuse issues and a host of other topics were discussed.
The Tayside Fire and Rescue representative advised that there will be an Open Day at Blackness Fire Station on Saturday 2nd July - more on that to follow!
