Yesterday afternoon Brian Cox returned to Broughty Ferry. On this occasion he was not on location filming an episode of Bob Servant but here to perform the official opening of the restored historic lamp standards in Beach Crescent. 

A group of members and supporters of Broughty Ferry Development Trust (BFDT) gathered to hear Brian's appreciative comments about The Ferry and the determined and effective conservation work of the Development Trust. He remarked that it was a bit early in the day to turn on the street lights but declared, 
"long may they light!"

This was a memorable event which demonstrates that BFDT is living up to its mission statement:
"Involving the people who live and work in Broughty Ferry in the development of their community to enhance its environmental, historical and commercial assets and promote it as a high quality place to live, work and visit." 

Joining the BFDT is free.
