I have for some time had complaints about the condition of the roadway and roundabout at the junction of Blackness Road and Glamis Road. The roadway and kerbing is in poor shape and the roundabout drab. I have raised this with the City Council and have received the following feedback :
"Blackness Road/Glamis Road junction is included in the carriageway resurfacing programme for 2008/09. Work is scheduled to begin in April 2008 and will last approximately two weeks. Included in these works is the lifting and re-laying of the kerbing on the roundabout and around the south east corner of Blackness Road and Glamis Road."
I am continuing to pursue ways of brightening up the roundabout (some flowers and plants would be nice) and here's the City Council's Temporary Traffic Order in respect of the planned road and kerbing works :
Dundee City Council propose to make an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for the purpose of facilitating reconstruction and resurfacing works. The Order is expected to be in force for two weeks from 14 April 2008. Its maximum duration in terms of the Act is eighteen months.
The effect of the Order is to prohibit temporarily all vehicular traffic in (a) Glamis Road south of the roundabout with Blackness Road and (b) Glamis Drive west of the roundabout with Blackness Road.
Access for residents will be maintained where possible.
An alternative route will be available via (a) Perth Road, Ninewells Avenue, Glamis Road and reverse and (b) Invergowrie Drive, Perth Road, Ninewells Avenue, Glamis Road or Invergowrie Drive, Perth Road, West Park Road and reverse.
Please forward any comments you may have regarding this proposal to the Network Management Team, Planning and Transportation Department, Tayside House, Crichton Street, Dundee, no later than five working days prior to the commencement date.
If you have any queries please contact the City Council on 433275.
