Getting things done – Roseangle #dundeewestend

I recently raised, with the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership, concerns on behalf of residents about the state of part of the north side of Roseangle.

I have now received the following positive response :

“An order has been raised by the Road Maintenance Partnership inspector for a pothole to be carried out with a timescale for completion of approximately thirty days.”


Dundee Money Action – Open Day

You’re invited to join us on the 28th August to hear about the work of Dundee Money Action!

This event is for anyone working directly with a client group in Dundee such as support workers, community NHS staff, front line workers or charity drop-in workers. 

Dundee Money Action is an innovative partnership project working across Dundee, delivering ongoing support for Dundee citizens to enable them to be more in charge of their money :

• dealing with debts
• building money management skills
• looking at home energy use
• assisting with benefits
• and connecting people to support and interest groups amongst other activities

Please book to come and meet the project team at The Friary, Tullideph Road on Tuesday 28th August – hear some case studies, find out more about the work of the project, the benefits to your client group, and how you can be involved and connect your clients to our workers.

The same event will run 5 times over the course of the day – 1hr sessions starting at 9.30am, 11am, 1pm, 2.30pm, 4pm, so you will be able to book a session to fit around your diary commitments. 

Please book your free ticket using Eventbrite here.

50 Shades of Tay – A Flash Fiction Celebration

Dundee Writing Group, the Nethergate Writers, has published a new volume of flash fiction. 

50 Shades of Tay comprises fifty 50-word pieces of prose and poetry that celebrate people and places along the Tay. 

There’s something for everyone in this pocket-sized book.   From memories of the Fifie, to sledging on the Law; reflections on the river to the wonders of karaoke at Dundee’s Club Bar.

Nethergate Writers collaborated with local design studio, Pulse North, to create images to accompany some of the pieces and a striking cover design that takes its visual cues from the river.

The book will be launched at Waterstones Dundee at 6pm this Thursday – 23rd August – and the Nethergate Writers invite readers old and new to join them in celebrating their favourite Shades of Tay.
