Car park at Riverside Pavilion #dundeewestend

I have received complaints that, not for the first time, the car park at the Riverside Pavilion, adjacent to the playing fields on the north side of Riverside Drive, is flooded and rutted.

I took this up with the council’s Head of Environment, who has positively responded as follows :

“I agree that this is not looking too good. 

I have raised with colleagues and they are going to make arrangement to have the surface restored. 

In the longer term and finance dependant, I would be recommending that it is completely renovated with an asphalt surface.”
