Getting things done - Blackness Library - an update #dundeewestend
Back in early 2020, Fraser obtained a commitment for Community Payback to repaint the railings of Blackness Library which are in a really poor state. Unfortunately the COVID pandemic at the time resulted in this work not taking place
Michael was photographed at the railings recently and - as the photos indicate - the need for work to repaint the railings is now urgent.
We have therefore taken up this matter again with the City Council and will keep residents updated on progress.

Proposal for a Logie 20mph speed limit #dundeewestend
Residents will be aware that we have long campaigned for - at the request of residents - a lower speed limit in the Logie estate, where roads are very narrow and there is a large population of elderly people, particularly on the north side of the estate where the sheltered housing is.
Fraser raised this at the council's former City Development Committee some time ago and this was agreed as a future 20mph project.
The City Council will shortly be consulting on a proposed new 20mph which is rather larger than Logie itself.
Please see the proposed public notice which will be promoted shortly as part of the consultation exercise on the proposal.
The list of affected streets is highlighted as part of this public notice :
