Getting things done - Shaftesbury Park #dundeewestend

Over a lengthy period, residents have contacted us about the deteriorating state of the road surface in Shaftesbury Park - see photos.

Although, at our request, localised repairs have taken place over time, we asked the council's Roads Maintenance Partnership if resurfacing could be considered in a future roads capital programme.

The partnership's manager recently advised us that it was piloting a thin overlay solution elsewhere in the city and if successful, it would allow for resurfacing of Shaftesbury Park during September.

He has now advised us :

"We were successful in our thin overlay scheme elsewhere in the city. Therefore, the works at Shaftesbury Park will be going ahead."

This is great news and we publish the temporary traffic order about the works below :

THE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 - SECTION 14(1)

THE DUNDEE CITY COUNCIL AS TRAFFIC AUTHORITY being satisfied that traffic on the road should be prohibited by reason of carriageway resurfacing works being carried out HEREBY PROHIBIT the driving of any vehicle in Shaftesbury Park for its entire length.

This notice comes into effect on Monday 8th September 2025 for five working days.

Pedestrian thoroughfare will be maintained.

Vehicular access for residents will be maintained where possible.

As this road forms a cul de sac no diversion is available.

For further information contact 07939 282882.

Getting things done - Ninewells Avenue - an update #dundeewestend

Residents will recall that, some time ago, we reported that the white lining in the middle of Ninewells Avenue, north of the hospital entrance, is badly faded.

At our request this was to have been repainted at the start of July but could not take place due to adverse weather at the time.

We are pleased to advise that the Roads Maintenance Partnership Manager has now advised us :

"We had joint repair and lining works planned at Ninewells Avenue at the start of July, but unfortunately these works had to be postponed due to adverse weather.

These works have since been reprogrammed and will now take place on the 28th and 29th of August."

Getting things done - Riverside Approach #dundeewestend

Yesterday, Fraser had a very useful site visit with a member of West End Community Council regarding Riverside Approach road safety issues - we have since raised these with the council's roads team.

One issue is the need for a proper pedestrian crossing between Magdalen Green and the Roseangle playpark. We had previously raised this with officers but a survey resulted in it not meeting the criteria for a crossing.

However, following residents' requests and the extent of pedestrian and vehicle movements, we asked for a review of this. The council's Traffic and Road Safety Team Leader has now advised :

"As you know, this location was previously assessed for a potential pedestrian crossing in line with our committee-approved procedures. The outcome of that assessment did not support the installation of a crossing, and the findings were reported to committee in 2023 (Report No. 221-2023).

In accordance with our procedures, locations can be reassessed every three years. I will ensure this site is included in our list of pedestrian surveys for this year. These surveys are typically carried out towards the end of the financial year, as batching them together is significantly more cost-effective."

Getting things done - Pentland Avenue #dundeewestend

Residents have highlighted to us that the wall in Pentland Avenue - near City Road junction - in front of housing and adjacent to the public pavement is requiring repair.

The council's Head of Housing, Construction and Communities has since advised :

"Following an inspection by Officers, this has been taken forward under the Wall Replacement Programme for 2025/26.

Engineers are currently working on the design and will get back to us shortly with an anticipated date for starting on site."

New footpath connection on Riverside Drive #dundeewestend

An update from the Principal Engineer (Design & Property Services) at Dundee City Council :

"The City Engineers and Sustainable Transport Team are currently developing a new design for a proposed footway along the north side of Riverside Drive, extending from the Riverside Pavilion to Riverside Approach. Please see the general arrangement drawing. The budget for this work is being met from the Transport Scotland funded – Cycling and Walking Safer Routes.

This footpath is being proposed as a direct response to complaints made by members of the public during the scenario when the flood gates are closed along Riverside Drive. When the gates are closed there is no direct safe alternative route on the north side of the road. We receive regular complaints about this during the flood gate closures. This section is the missing link where no footpath exists between the City Centre and the pedestrian crossing at the Riverside Pavilion. It is hoped that this footpath will improve access for all and help minimise disruption for pedestrians during storm events.

The proposed design features a 3.5-metre-wide bound shared use path that will pass through the existing tree avenue. This width has been maximised to ensure cyclists and pedestrians can both pass safely. The footpath has been designed to not damage any tree roots and will provide better pedestrian access for events such as the carnival and circus.

During internal consultation on this project it was highlighted there is occasional unauthorised vehicle access to this area and parking and unsafe access and egress by vehicles. This is mainly during events such as the carnival and circus but, more recently concerning the parking of caravans and mobile homes. 

To help control vehicle access and protect the footpath the project is proposing a galvanised steel trip rail that will run along the edge of the carriageway between Barnetts and the Pavilion. This will be similar in appearance as the exiting U-shaped hoop trip rail at Barnetts."

Getting things done - Dundee Technology Park #dundeewestend

Residents recently drew to our attention the decorative walling at the entrance to the Dundee Technology Park at its west end (near Swallow roundabout) was badly graffitied (see photos). This sits in front of Swan House in the Technology Park and is very prominent as you enter the city from the Swallow Roundabout.

The Technology Park is no longer fully owned by Scottish Enterprise so we asked SE if it knew the ownership nowadays at this specific location.

SE advised that the wall sits within the title boundary of Swan House and therefore is the responsibility of the owners, Marketgait Developments Ltd.

Its agent Graham & Sibbald promised to contact the owner and SE subsequently advised “the owner has just been in touch to say he will endeavour to have the wall cleaned. If this doesn’t work he says he will have it painted over.”

Childminding recruitment campaign in Dundee

The City Council is supporting the Scottish Childminding Association’s recruitment campaign to encourage Dundee people to consider taking up a career in childminding.

Advantages of flexible employability opportunities for local people to work from their own home, as well as the potential growth of childcare options for city families are being highlighted as benefits.

Funded training and support would be provided to successful applicants, who will also be able to access employability and Business Gateway support throughout the programme and into their self-employment journey.

The campaign features Dundee childminder Elaine Bruce, who runs Elaine’s Amazing Spaces.

Elaine worked in child education for 38 years and previously worked in a senior position in a nursery. She realised she could be a professional childminder, working from home with small numbers of children.

She said: “I’d thoroughly recommend childminding as a career. If you’ve got a passion for working with children, the opportunity is there to make a really great business.”

“I felt really supported by SCMA, particularly throughout the process of registration. I thought the one-to-one support available from SCMA was invaluable. Any problem or question, no matter how small, I received help so quickly. It’s really reassuring to have experts in childminding to refer to.”

Elaine explains that childminding brings great benefits for the children who take part.

“With smaller numbers involved in childminding, there’s lots of opportunity for the younger ones to learn together to share and play in wee groups. It’s an important part of learning – things like waiting their turn – and I believe being around children that aren’t their siblings is important.”

A dedicated SCMA Workforce Officer is assigned to each candidate to provide expert, one-to-one support through the process of registration with the Care Inspectorate. Personalisation of the process is integral to the progression of candidates, ensuring they feel fully informed about their future career in childminding, and means they are less likely to drop out.

Childminders provide high-quality childcare from their home that is nurturing and safe and also provides the flexibility for childminders and their ‘mindees’ to ‘get out and about so that children have chances to learn from real life experiences.

As with other childcare providers such as nurseries, childminders are guided by the Curriculum for Excellence and are required to follow the values and principles of the 'Getting It Right for Every Child' (GIRFEC) framework, which supports the health and wellbeing of children.

Graeme McAlister, Chief Executive, Scottish Childminding Association, said: “Childminding is a vital community asset providing local flexible childcare and family support which is so important in remote and rural communities.

"The Programme for Scotland’s Childminding Future is an important step towards addressing the urgent demand for high-quality childcare from parents and carers and recruiting childminders in areas where they are most needed.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for those living in these areas to access a wealth of support in setting up their own sustainable childminding business and to undertake a rewarding new career.”
