As reported in yesterday's 'Courier', a City Council Planning Enforcement Officer has advised me that, following my requests on behalf of residents to get the owner of the McCheyne Church to tidy the badly overgrown grounds :"I have tried repeatedly to contact the owner on the mobile telephone number you gave me and left messages but there has been no response.
I have now prepared a draft report for consent to take Direct Action which will hopefully be included on the Agenda for the next DQ Committee in December."
As you can see from the photo (above right) the grounds badly need attention and, should direct action be approved at Development Quality Committee, it will enable the City Council to undertake necessary works and invoice the owner for the cost.
The church building is included in the "Scran" online learning resource base - see http://tiny.cc/mccheyne
