Yesterday morning, in addition to meeting various constituents, I had a meeting with sheltered housing tenants at Sinderins Court, a City Council Environment official and Home Scotland staff about the waste and recycling bins at the complex - see right. The current bins are overly large with heavy lids that some of the tenants find difficult to use. During a very amicable meeting, agreement was reached on smaller communal bins and a more frequent collection.
Early yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of attending the official opening of the Cherry Blossom Nursery School in Seafield Road. The nursery is beautifully build and provides excellent facilities for the local children who attend the nursery. It transforms the site of a long-derelict property and previously badly overgrown grounds. The welcoming lighting outside last night (see above right) was very impressive too! |
| Dundee Partnership Awards Dinner |
Later yesterday evening, I attended the Dundee Partnership Awards Dinner at the City Chambers. It was great to see a diverse group of awards winners, all of whom do a huge amount of good for communities across Dundee. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and hear more about the achievements of the winning groups.
