Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend
I recently received a number of complaints from residents about blocked road gullies in Perth Road east of Harris Academy towards West Park Road.
I raised this with the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and have received the following positive response :
“The gully machine operator is going to check these gullies past the cemetery to West Park Road area.”
Update from the Friends of the University of Dundee Botanic Garden
“As some of you will be aware, the Friends’ Anthology has now been published.
The fundamental purpose of the book is to raise awareness of the Garden within the city and further afield. From stories and poetry to sketches and paintings, contributors colourfully express their emotional response to the Garden in all its seasons, exploring and emphasising the importance of the space.
The book retails for £19.99 and can be purchased at Garden reception on any day of the week, and also in the Macro-Micro building within the Garden on Wednesdays where some of those who helped produce the book can answer any questions you may have or deal with specific requirements.
We have received many complimentary emails from those who have seen and purchased the book regarding both its content and physical appearance.
We hope you will consider purchasing a copy – it may be the ideal present for Christmas to introduce others to the Garden.”
