On a number of occasions in the past, I have sought, on behalf of residents, the tidying of the very overgrown site of the former James Laurie and Son Nursery in Perth Road, west of the junction with Riverside Drive. Last year, the owners did some thinning of the bushes on the site's edge with Perth Road and replaced damaged "for sale" signage, but the site has remained unused for more than ten years.
Today's Courier highlights that the administrators of the former developers who owned the site have engaged property agents to put the land back on the market at a significantly lower price than previously sought. The site already has planning approval.
As I indicated in the Courier, any development here must be in keeping with and sympathetic to this highly desirable residential area, but steps to see this overgrown and unused site being brought back into use will be welcomed.
