Magdalen Green, Monthly West End Community Council Update, Tait's Lane

Really excellent further meeting with residents yesterday on Magdalen Green issues and an excellent overview by the City Council's landscape architect. We are now looking to progress to a "Friends of Magdalen Green" steering group at our next meeting in January. But yesterday's was really positive with plenty of good ideas to progress.
On my way to my surgery last night, had a check of the new road surface in Tait's Lane and to check that the "nib" in the road towards the south end that used to jut out causing problems for drivers had been fixed as I was promised - it has! - see photo!
Two matters of significance at Council committees last night for our local area - firstly, the Tay Hotel Finalised Development Brief was approved - and the long-awaited HMO planning report was also approved. For planning purposes this restricts the growth of HMOs in particular streets amongst other sensible reforms.
Lastly, have launched this month's West End Community Council Update (meeting is tonight) - you can read article about this and download update itself by following the link above.
