West End Local Community Planning Partnership Café Conversation #dundeewestend


The next West End LCPP meeting is on Thursday 20th November from 9.30am  until 11am at The Friary in Tullideph Road.

Working with What Matters to You this will be the first Café Conversation in the West End.

The LCCP Chair said :

"These sessions have been held in other parts of Dundee and offer a relaxed space for community members, practitioners, and strategic leaders to come together. The aim is to talk about what’s working well, what could be better, and how we can improve things together.

We’re encouraging people to share real experiences. We’ll spend time listening, identifying key issues, and exploring practical solutions.

We hope this will be a great chance for people to connect, understand each other better, and find ways to support one another. The Café Conversation format ensures everyone’s voice is heard and helps us agree on actions to take forward."

You can register to attend the meeting using Eventbrite link at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/west-end-lcpp-cafe-conversation-tickets-1769661337699

TOGS Christmas initiative from Blackness Fire Station #dundeewestend


Blackness Road Community Fire Station has a partnership with TOGS, the local Dundee-based charity, to support families in need.      TOGS provides essential items such as clothing, toiletries, and equipment to families year-round, assisting children from pre-birth through to 18 years of age.

With winter approaching, the fire station will be on collecting warm clothing for distribution to those in need within our local communities.    TOGS has highlighted a particular gap in support for older teens, especially with regard to toiletries for this age group.    As such, we are encouraging donations of both warm clothing and toiletries, with an emphasis on items suitable for older children and teenagers.

Collection Details:

  • Collection Point: Blackness Road Community Fire Station
  • Donation Period: Now until the end of November 2025

All collected items will be delivered to TOGS at their Family Day event in early December.   Many thanks!

Getting things done - Perth Road #dundeewestend


Residents have highlighted to us that the vehicle activated 30mph sign on Perth Road near Clovis Duveau Drive is not functioning properly.

We asked the council's traffic and road safety team if it was aware of tis and if it could be repaired or replaced and have received the following helpful response :

"Yes, the Traffic & Road Safety Team is aware of the speed-activated sign at this location. Unfortunately, the unit is beyond repair and will not be replaced.

However, the Council does intend to install MVAS (Mobile Vehicle Activated Signs) at this site in the future, subject to resource availability. 

These signs are deployed temporarily across various locations in the city and rotated periodically, as their effectiveness tends to reduce over time as drivers become familiar with them. 

Please note that MVAS are advisory in nature and do not replace formal speed enforcement, which remains the responsibility of Police Scotland."

Swallow Roundabout - a further update #dundeewestend


As residents will be aware, we had called for some time for the proposals to improve the Swallow Roundabout arising out of the safety audit to be implemented and this was originally to have happened at the end of August.

However, the Western Gateway housing developer Springfield, who has overall responsibility for the roundabout changes, did not obtain necessary permissions in time and we have now received the following update from the company :

"We have had confirmation that all required permissions and permits are in place to carry out the remedial items at the Swallow Roundabout. This includes changes to the lane markings and updated signage.

These items, along with remedial surfacing work, will be carried out over a period of two weeks starting 3rd November. This is the earliest date that the various contractors required for these works are all available.

As before, the work will take place overnight, between the hours of 7pm and 7am, to ensure minimal disruption. Dykes of Gray Road and Riverside Avenue will be closed during these hours with diversion routes clearly signposted.

There will not be any work taking place at the Swallow Roundabout until w/c 3rd November."
