There are holes left in the floors and walls and the work that is completed is of very poor quality.

The workmen have not put in new doors, merely fitted equipment to the original ones. I don’t feel any more secure than I did without the new equipment, as a few days ago, pupils from Menzieshill High were kicking the door in.

I contacted the contract service IMU and spoke to the project manager to complain, only to be told, and I quote, “We opted for the cheaper version”. I am outraged that I pay full rent and council tax to have mediocre equipment installed. — Unimpressed Resident.

After a few purchases we went to get a snack. The woman in front ordered four cappuccino coffees, four cheese and tomato rolls (oops, sorry paninis) and four hot muffins.

When she was charged £30.60, the woman next to me noticed I was looking giddy.

Moving on to another eatery, the product was the humble potato. It cost £2.85 with one filling, plus 85p for various extra fillings.

A wee lad asked for beans with his coleslaw filling. I asked him to count his beans and they came to 67. I did not have the heart to tell his mum she had paid 1.26p per bean.

I know we should not go back and try to equate yesterday’s values, but it was not that long ago when a farmer from Errol was offering to deliver 56lbs bags of potato for £2.50 to your door.

I later found myself at a retail park in a carpet warehouse. We were quoted £105. I asked for a quote for fitting and was told £85. I asked why laying was so costly and was told it was overheads such as insurance, petrol, etc.

We went to a carpet shop not far away, and for the same quality, was quoted delivery and laying for £130. I conclude consumers are being ripped off. — Andy Walker.

Surely the police could take action, as these dwellers have driveways and garages as well as room on the road. — Mains Drive OAP.

I believe something similar is now planned for Dundee Airport.

It isn’t fair that Dundee’s taxpayers have been left to pay the costs for an asset that also benefits the business communities of Perthshire, Angus and Fife. — Skint.

[A spokesperson for Dundee City Council said that the question of charitable status, on a similar basis to the proposal for leisure services, has never been discussed and is not considered an option for the airport.

There have been tentative talks about the management of the airport being contracted- out to another operator and a link with Highlands & Islands Airports, who operate Inverness Airport among others, has been one of the suggestions.

The spokesperson said, “We continue to discuss options for the airport.”]

For a start you can restrict to their houses the two who the police have identified as being responsible for a fire.

If they are then found to be responsible, and are of secondary school age, publish their names in the Press to let the decent people in our community know who they are.

If there is no parental control, put them in a secure unit for three months for assessment. Nor should they be allowed to live in a Dundee City Council property. — Scarrab.

Travel Dundee has recently put up its fares citing fuel costs as one of the factors. Will they now reduce their prices? Somehow I doubt it.

As someone who can use Travel Dundee or Strathtay Buses I have to say the latter is by far the better value. A journey of roughly comparable distance will cost me £1.20 with Travel Dundee while Strathtay do it for 95p. — John Campbell, Auchrannie Terrace, Dundee.

No doubt if I wished to travel to Europe, the first two would be beneficial.

But most European countries teach English as a second language and almost everyone you meet can understand you.

From a cultural point of view, the relevance of the development of Gaelic would be beneficial, not to all Scots, but mainly to those from areas where the language has become extinct, but can still be seen in, for example, place names.

Angus Gaelic was spoken in the Glens in the 18th century, and the last speakers of Gaelic as a main language in Aberdeenshire died in the 1980s.

Having seen a vacancy for a position for which I am academically qualified in Benbecula, I would have been more likely to apply if I could converse with the locals in both their languages. — Aberdeen Angus.

Carnoustie is Scotland’s fastest growing town with new housing springing up in every part and what is required is a Tesco or Asda supermarket.

I hope companies will consider building in Carnoustie as it would save me having to travel into Monifieth all the time. — Tired Housewife.
