Sinderins disruption, Network Rail, Riverside Roundabout

Firstly, pleased to see bush trimming work on roundabout near Marmalade Pot was carried out as promised last Sunday.

Really interesting visit to the Tay Rail Bridge yesterday. Network Rail had invited me and the two Dundee MPs to see the painting and refurbishment works on the bridge.


There's a very significant investment in these works being made by Network Rail over the next few years and the photos show us walking out across the bridge and underneath it (about a quarter of the way across the Tay).

A lot of disruption at the Sinderins junction area over the past few days caused by gas mains replacement works - I'd earlier forewarned residents about this is a recent FOCUS newsletter - click on headline above to read.

A number of residents have rightly complained that the "out of action" bus stop near the Rosebud & the Chemist didn't have any notice on it to say where the nearest "operating" bus stop was - a bit of a problem as some residents erroneously thought the buses had been moved to Hawkhill (as has happened before). I have spoken to Planning & Transportation & pleased to say posters put in the shelter this morning.
