Council should help upkeep of the Law

Sir, – Today I walked past several allotment holders in Kinghorne Road, Dundee, who were trying to tidy up the banks adjacent to steps leading to their allotments.

This is quite a task involving cutting back of heavy growth on a slope, a job which should be done by the council using a machine designed for the purpose.

They have asked the council to provide a skip, as waste cut back cannot be left, but so far have received no help.

This area around the Law is very neglected, with

“pavements” that are not fit to be called pavements.

The ground at the top of Adelaide Place has a broken wall and blossom trees planted many years ago have been cut down, with no attempt to plant even a few spring bulbs.

All while other areas around the city are glowing with colour and are a credit to Dundee.

Lots of visitors pass this area on their way up the Law, but the approach leaves a lot to be desired.

It should not be left to a few allotment holders, who would no doubt prefer to be in their own gardens, trying to make the area more presentable.

D Coleman.

Adelaide Place, Dundee.
