Markinch morning, recycling prize draw and "No HGVs sign"

Early start today in order to help my North-East & Central Fife LibDem colleagues on polling day at a council by-election in Markinch. Lovely morning!

Back mid-morning to Dundee in time to draw the winning entry from the recent City Centre Recycling competition - see photo of Graeme Dailly from Waste Management and myself doing the draw at the City Chambers!

I'll not name the lucky winner of the
£50 Overgate shopping voucher as the winner may choose to tick the "no publicity box" if you catch my drift, but assuming the winner is agreeable, we're aiming to do a photocall next week to present the prize and winner will be revealed then.

Good news is that the prize draw's aim of promoting the Gellatly Street recycling centre has worked as staff report increased use of it.

On walking up Perth Road later on, pleased to note that the "Unsuitable for HGVs" signs I'd been promised for Westfield Place (following residents' requests) are now in place at the north end.
