University of Dundee

This afternoon I had a very productive meeting with Dr Jim McGeorge, the recently appointed Secretary of the University of Dundee. It was very interesting to touch base with him and get an idea of where the University is going over the next few years. I am a graduate of Dundee University and I have fond memories of my time as student there. The university has a major impact on the West End ward, it is a major employer, its brings thousands of students to live in the West End, it provides excellent services which can also be used by local residents. I thought it was good to discuss all the issues that this brings to me as a local councillor and also to the university.
