Greater Balgay Park Stakeholders Meeting

Tonight I was pleased to attend the Greater Balgay Park Stakeholders Meeting.  This meeting allows the Council's Environment Department, listen to the views of people such as the Friends of Balgay and the West End Community Council as well as local councillors.  As a local resident I know what a great resource the park is for local people.  It is important that the council recognises that Balgay Park, along with the other parks in the city, belongs to all the people of Dundee.  It is important that the council listens to the views of local people about the park and takes action on their concerns.

I would like to pay tribute to the late Dr Hilda Spear who did  a great job in keeping local councillors on their toes and ensuring that her beloved Balgay Park is maintained.  I know that the Friends of Balgay will ensure that her legacy lives on. 

I think that over the last few years this meeting has made a real difference to the management and maintenance of the park and that is good news for everyone.  If you have any questions or concerns about Balgay Park or the other parks in the West End please get in touch.
