Over the past few months and following residents' complaints, I have again raised with the City Council the state of the grounds of the former McCheyne Church on Perth Road at Sinderins.
The City Council, after writing to the owners without any action on their part, recently served an Amenity Notice on the owners and this has now resulted in the area being tidied.
The Council's Planning Enforcement Officer wrote to me towards the end of last week as follows :
"I visited the above site today and all the weeds have been cut back. There are a few cuttings remaining but there was a bag on the railings that looks like it has been left to collect the cuttings. Perhaps they didn't finish because of the rain. However, I would advise that I consider they have complied with the Amenity Notice and I will close this case."
The grounds are certainly looking a lot better :
