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.
