North-East area has the most projects in running

who have been working night and day on this. “They’ve been going around all of the areas with tablets so even people that aren’t au fait with technology can get involved with the process. “It’s a fantastic initiative and, hopefully, we can show that this is something people want. “It’s been a really inclusive system in the ward and everywhere I go the council officers are popping up with these tablets.” Other projects up for selection include creating a two-way entrance and extended car park at Drumgeith Park, improving the skating/BMX area at Whitfield Green, fencing around the Murrayfield allotments and improving the pavement area outside the Fintry Road shops. Votes can also be cast for new trees in Mill O’ Mains Park and Middleton Wood, clean-ups at the Dighty, Fithie and Whitfield burns as well as refurbishing the multi-use games area at Cheviot Crescent.

Mr Gordon added: “I am reasonably happy with the projects considering when it was passed last August we had only up until April this year to earmark the money.

“I am sure if this is a success they’ll step that up and the community will have more of an opportunity to pick and choose what projects they want. I’m not sure how many have voted in the North-East, but hopefully, we get good support before the deadline.”

More than £1.2 million of Dundee City Council money will be spread across every ward in the city on projects voted for by the public.

All of the money will be spent on community enhancements such as improvements to play areas, introducing pedestrian crossings, pavements and lighting.

Ron Neave, chairman of Fintry Community Council, wants a wide spread of funding across the NorthEast and hopes locals will turn out to vote on projects to improve road safety.

He said: “It sounds and looks as if people are coming out to vote and I know there’s been a lot of work done on it.

“The issues with the traffic congestion outside the schools have been ongoing, so it’s good that they are addressing that.

“As I understand it, if the Fintry Primary School project were to be approved that would turn it into a zoning area, meaning anyone driving there at the wrong time could get a fixed penalty.

“I’m looking forward to the results and like to think the projects could be spread across the whole of the North-East rather than one thing.”

Tomorrow, we look at what’s on offer in the Maryfield ward.
