This evening, I attended the February meeting of the Community Spirit Action Group, the residents' group for the north of the West End Ward, including Tullideph, Ancrum, Cleghorn and the Pentland area.
There was an interesting presentation by Professor Andy Grieve on credit card fraud and identity theft and there was also a community safety update.
I updated the group about the parking pilot to improve parking in housing estates and also about the site visit Community Spirit's secretary and I had with City Council officers earlier today about pedestrian safety at the Tullideph Road/City Road junction (see above right), following the implementation of new traffic lights late last year. This was a useful site visit at which it was agreed to increase the time length of the 'bleep' that sounds when pedestrians can safely cross the road.
