Last week, the summary of new Community Plan for The Ferry 2012-17 was launched. The areas included in the plan are Central Broughty Ferry, West Ferry, Barnhill, Forthill, Clearwater Park, Ferry Fields, Balmossie and Panmurefield.
This plan reflects many weeks of community research to discern local priorities of our residents throughout Broughty Ferry.
Most of the issues that the plan identifies will not be a surprise but each one is worth pursuing to make small but significant improvements to living in The Ferry.
The commitment of all the community, voluntary and public services to work together to deliver the plan and improve local services, is what will make a difference. Together, I am sure we can make Broughty better.

On Tuesday morning, 22 May 2012, the Council launched the Local Community Plans for each of the eight electoral areas in Dundee. This event took place in the Marryat Hall in Dundee.
Our Local Community Plan for Broughty Ferry lists the changes, developments and improvements local residents would like to see happen. In order to do this the views of residents were gathered. There have been many opportunities for local people to state how they feel about living in The Ferry area, and to express how they think the area can be improved.
Although it is not possible to consult with everyone, Communities staff have gathered information on the priorities many residents feel are important. This information was gathered in a number of ways including:
- 300 postal surveys were delivered to Forthill and Balgillo areas;
- Round Table event held at Castle Green;
- Community Safety survey analysed by Tayside Police;
- Focused discussions with Community, Council, Traders, Broughty Ferry Development Trust and Forthill Tenants' Association;
- Focused Facebook consultation with young people at Grove Academy;
- Consultation through “Glow” with primary School children asking their views about living in Broughty Ferry;
- Over 500 people spoke to Local Community Planning Partners at Gala Day event and
- Local workers and Local Community Planning Partnership partners were asked to provide information and view on local priorities.
