blackislekillie Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The story would have been complete if he'd been travelling between Blackburn and Bolton on the A666. "..and damaging his helmet". Low blow, surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/warning-lives-lost-amid-mental-health-unit-closure/Apologies, but what's going on? Front line care for patients with mental health issues should be on an equal funding footing with every other major illness and disease. It seems mental health care is a very easy sector to just "cut", but do the individuals responsible not consider the greater impact? Scotland, and Tayside especially, requires significantly increased funding and support for their psychiatric services. Where the hell is the money going back to?The game's up the poley, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 This article isn't very clear - can anyone tell me if Dundee City Council are planning to install new setback walls and floodgates along the waterfront? £6.9 MILLION SCHEME TO PROTECT DUNDEE WATERFRONT FROM FLOODING AGREED BY COUNCIL Nearly £7 million is to be spent on providing flood protection for Dundee’s new Waterfront area. City councillors have agreed to invest a total of £6,917,574 in a flood protection scheme which will run from Camperdown Dock to Dundee Airport. The scheme has been described as providing “a one-in-200-year standard of protection”. Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering has been awarded the work, which will include adapting the height of the existing sea wall. The plans will also see the construction of new setback walls and the installation of floodgates to allow access for maintenance along City Quay from Camperdown Dock gate to the Tay Road Bridge. Work will also be carried out to adapt the existing infrastructure, construct new setback walls and install floodgates to allow access for maintenance along Riverside Drive from Discovery Point to the Bridge View Station building. And new setback flood defence walls and floodgates will be installed to allow access for maintenance between the Bridge View Station building and Dundee Airport. The scheme has been deemed necessary in a bid to reduce the risk of flooding to the new £1 billion Waterfront area, including the open space at Slessor Gardens. Members of Dundee City Council’s city development committee approved the proposals unanimously at a meeting this week. Will Dawson, committee convener, said: “This scheme is one of more than 40 that the Scottish Environment Protection Agency prioritised for Scottish Government funding just a year ago. “Since then, a considerable amount of work has gone into making the plans a reality so that we can reduce the risk of flooding to residents, community and business properties and the new open recreational space at Slessor Gardens officially opened last summer. “We hope to see work start on site before the end of the month with a target of completing it next spring. “The scheme will include setback walls and flood defences to provide a one-in-200-year-plus climate change, standard of protection.” West End councillor Richard McCready, whose constituency includes part of the area to be protected, welcomed the proposals. He said: “At a time of budgetary constraints, this is a lot of money to spend, but it is needed to protect parts of the city from potential flooding — particularly in light of climate changes.” A year ago residents in Dundee were given the opportunity to comment on the proposals. The money for the project is coming from capital funding from the council spread over three years. Additional funding will come from a Scottish Government General Capital Grant for flood projects. In April of last year, director of city development Mike Galloway reported that there had been two objections to the scheme, one from Forth Ports Ltd and the other from an individual member of the public. However he reported: “The objection from Forth Ports Ltd has been withdrawn following discussion on the detail of the scheme.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the same gang who stole all the toilet seats from the police station.
