West End Local Community Planning Partnership

On Thursday evening I attended the latest meeting of the West End Local Community Planning Partnership.  This is the meeting were officers from the council and from other partner organisations share information and try to deliver joined up services to people in the West End.  The meeting heard about work which is being done on the over provision of alcohol.  I would be interested in constituents views on this important issue, are there too many pubs and off-licences in the West End?

We also heard about the on-going problems being caused by welfare reform.  It is clear that welfare reform is making an impact in communities across Dundee and that over the next couple of years things will only get worse.

It was also good to hear about the work of a number of colleagues in different departments across the West End.
