Strathmartine Community Clean-Up

A Strathmartine Community Clean-Up has taken place this week as part of the Take Pride in Your City campaign.

The initiative is part of the Dundee-wide environmental effort to make a positive difference to all city neighbourhoods, parks and open areas.

The Community Clean-Up took place in the areas around Balgowan Avenue and Beauly Square where additional works were carried out by Council staff including the removal of litter and debris, strimming, general tidying of communal areas where required as well as sweeping to path & street areas.

Climate, Environment & Biodiversity Convener Cllr Heather Anderson said: “There is a wide variety of great work taking place in the city through the Take Pride umbrella.

“The Community Clean-Ups have proven to be a successful addition where additional environmental work is carried out and residents can also make use of skips to dispose of their waste appropriately.

“Council employees have listened to direct feedback from local residents in areas throughout the city to improve the condition and appearance of neighbourhoods.”

The Community Clean-Up initiative has taken place in several areas throughout the city with further Clean-Ups planned to take place in the future as well.

Information about upcoming Community Clean-Ups is communicated directly with residents in the areas prior to taking place.
