As Labour spokesperson for Leisure, Arts and Communities on Dundee City Council I have congratulated everyone connected with the Bonnie Dundee campaign who have won awards at the Beautiful Scotland awards.
I would like to congratulate the Bonnie Dundee campaign and the various council staff who have made the efforts which allowed Dundee to win a Silver medal. The City Council has once again won the Sustainable Development award showing that the city is at the forefront of the best environmental practice. Well done to Broughty Ferry for a Silver Gilt award and also to Ardler for a Bronze award. I was particularly pleased that the judges praised the McManus Galleries.
It is important that the council remembers that the work which goes on to prepare for the Beautiful Scotland awards which includes both volunteers and council workers is important. It might seem easy to make cut backs to gardening in the city or to put less stress on environmental issues but cuts here would actually impact on the quality of life of the people of Dundee. We can all play a part in keeping our city 'bonnie' and the council should take a lead.
