Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend
I am grateful to the local resident who recently highlighted that one of the panels was damaged on the bus shelter on Perth Road near the junction with Glamis Road by the Invercarse Hotel.
I took this up with the transport team at the council and the panel was promptly removed for repair by a glazier.
Getting things done – Victoria Park #dundeewestend
Recently, residents have asked me when the hedging at Victoria Park will be trimmed.
I took this up with the City Council and the Environmental Management Area Officer has advised :
“… the hedge cutting with tractor mounted flail has commenced and is working its way across town east to west and this hedge is programmed in to be done and should be done in the next few weeks.
As you will be aware we have not been able to carry out our normal program of works at the usual time of year due to the covid-19 situation and most works have been set back by about a month.”
However, I am pleased to advise that the trimming has now been carried out and residents have remarked what a neat job it is too.
Temporary Traffic Order – Pentland Avenue
From the City Council :
Dundee City Council proposes to make an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for the purpose of facilitating road safety improvement works. The Order is expected to be in force for 6 days from 2nd November 2020. Its maximum duration in terms of the Act is eighteen months.
The effect of the Order is to prohibit temporarily all westbound vehicular traffic in Pentland Avenue from City Road to Scott Street.
An alternative route will be available via City Road and Scott Street.
Queries should be addressed to the Network Management Team, City Development Department, Dundee House, 50 North Lindsay Street, Dundee, DD1 1LS or call 433082.
The council has further advised me :
“The road safety improvement scheme includes a new central triangular traffic island with new drop kerb provision and new road markings including hatching.
The island will be installed in Pentland Avenue where the junction meets City Road.
This measure will improve pedestrian and road safety.”
Getting things done – Glamis Drive #dundeewestend
As residents are aware, I have been in touch with the Roads Maintenance Partnership on numerous occasions about the need to resurface the roadway of Glamis Drive as it is in poor condition.
I am pleased to advise that I have been informed that the road will be resurfaced from 9th November, which is good news.
It will be undertaken in two phases over up to ten days :
Phase 1 : from Invergowrie Drive to Hillside Road
Phase 2 : from Hillside Road to Glamis Road
This way access is maintained to the area throughout.
