In recent weeks, I have received numerous (and I mean numerous!) complaints from residents across the West End about the extent of weeds at road edges and footpaths - I know this is a complaint not just in the West End but in other parts of Dundee too. The photo (right) from Blackness Road is typical ...I have had various discussions with the Director of Planning & Transportation and Dundee Contract Services about these concerns. There is little doubt that the weather has been unhelpful in ensuring the annual weeds spraying programme progresses on schedule, but I am pleased to advise that the Head of Dundee Contract Services has advised me that all West End streets have now been fully sprayed. It takes 10-14 days to see the full effects of this, but I will be keeping a close eye to ensure that the weeds problem in the West End is fully resolved.
