The resurfacing work at the Roseangle car park is nearing completion and, as you can see below from photos I took late yesterday, the newly resurfaced car park is a huge improvement on the old pothole-ridden surface:
The City Council's parking staff updated me yesterday afternoon as follows and I'm confident the car park will be re-opened over the weekend and in full use next week :
"I carried out a site visit to Roseangle Car Park this morning and I can confirm that good progress is being made with the resurfacing works.
I spoke to the Supervisor on site and he advised me that at the current rate of progress Tayside Contracts will need approximately 1 hour on Friday morning to complete the resurfacing of the tarmac. He also advised me that the parking bays in the overspill area will be marked out this afternoon and weather permitting, the remainder of the parking bays would hopefully be marked out tomorrow.
With regards to Councillor Macpherson's/Head of Transportation's query, I can advise that if these works were to continue past Friday, there are 2 limited waiting bays and a section of double yellow lines on-street that are suitable for the resident loading and unloading their vehicle. Parking dispensation for these areas can be granted by the Senior Parking Attendant's if the resident telephones them on 432095."
The electrical work in Bellefield Avenue that was due over the past week but that Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) kindly postponed at my request to ensure there was not parking space loss there at the same time as the Roseangle Car Park was closed for the resurfacing, will now go ahead starting on Tuesday - but the loss of parking spaces will be limited to one space outside the tenement block that SSE is working on.
