Thomson Street - road safety

Yesterday, I met with with a group of residents and a road safety officer from Dundee City Council in Thomson Street to discuss road safety concerns residents have raised regarding this extremely narrow road.

Concerns discussed included inappropriate use of the road by some large vehicles such as HGVs, the need for residents to sometimes reverse in the street when meeting on-coming traffic and whether or not a one-way operation of the road may help that, and the possible use of "Twenty's Plenty" in the street to emphasise its very residential nature and narrowness.

The City Council will now give consideration to the points residents made at this constructive and useful meeting.
