For many others the prospect of travelling to Livingston daily (or nightly) will see them spending £400 a month on diesel, £20 on bridge tolls, leaving their families for roughly 12 hours a day, five days a week.

They will likely be earning less and will be on altered terms and conditions.

My husband received a phone call through the Tesco grapevine on Monday and the bottom fell out of our world.

Most of what we have achieved so far has been done with the hard-earned pay from the company, and in one fell swoop they have taken it away.

We and many other families have had our dreams and aspirations annihilated in just one hour. — LouLou.

After receiving millions in Government grants to establish an administration Head Office in Cardiff, it had no problem in ditching its commitment there in favour of cheap labour in India.

It’s time Sir Terry Leahy, of Tesco, came to Dundee and explained why he is betraying the city. — N. K.

I used to do my shopping online from Tesco, but not any more. — Ex-Tesco Customer.

So I hope our redundancy package will reflect this hard work we have demonstrated in the past.

When inquiring how many jobs are available in stores and the call centre, I was told 30, so where do the other 400 go? — Disgusted Driver.

I have shopped at Tesco for a long time now, but no more. I urge the folk of Dundee to show the people responsible for this decision that the city will not be walked over. — Happy Shopper.

So come on, Dundee and surrounds, let us pick a day to warn Tesco there are many other shops and supermarkets. — Stuart, Monifieth.

Distribution staff are being offered the possibility of relocation to keep their jobs, or a redundancy package. No one wants to relocate unless they have to, but surely it’s better than unemployment.

There was a mention of immigrant workers being used by Tesco. The company employs agency workers, some of which are from other parts of the EU, but these are on short-term contracts.

I work in the customer services centre and feel no amount of boycotting in Dundee is going to make a company of Tesco’s size change its mind. We are only a small cog in a very large wheel.

Readers have made reference to Tesco transporting a large part of the customer service across to Bangalore in India. This business, and 100 jobs, has since been returned to Dundee due to complaints from the public about quality of service. I am not a jobsworth, I’m just pointing out the positives. — Tesco Customer Service Manager.

Those campaigning to scrap the tolls would do well to remember that everything costs money, including the maintenance of the bridges.

I don’t use the bridges regularly and would put my weight behind a move to keep the tolls and even increase them.

Why should those who do not use the bridges have to pay for their upkeep? If you want to cross, pay the dosh. — Non Bridge User.

Among the reasons we’re offered for abolition is reducing pollution by reducing congestion.

If motorists are so concerned about pollution, why don’t they car share or use another means of transport?

If tolls are to be abolished, from where will the money to keep it maintained come?

If it is from tax, everyone will pay, even though not everyone uses the bridge. If you use the bridge you should pay.

Dundee City Council administration leader Jill Shimi knows this and only wants the tolls abolished to earn Brownie points.

It has nothing to do with congestion, air quality or the city’s economy. — For Whom The Bridge Tolls.

Just because the out-of-hours service is open does not mean that we have to close our surgeries — and some practices have chosen to remain open over some of the days chosen for closure by the service.

Patients should contact their own surgery for details of opening hours over all holiday periods. — Dundee Doc.

Barcelona has a cable car system over the city, Paris the Eiffel Tower, Rio De Janeiro the statue of Jesus and New York the Statue of Liberty.

Here’s a good idea to put Dundee back on the map. Imagine if visitors could alight at Dundee Railway Station and board a “city-view” cable car.

They could take a journey over the Magdalen Green, with a newly-created giant maze, ending at a replica Eiffel Tower on Balgay Hill. There they would board a cable car to the wonderful replica of the Louvre in Lochee’s South Road. We could have a Camperdown Safari Park with lions, buffalo and crocodiles (safely enclosed of course).

It only takes a bit of imagination. — Eck French, Dundee.

The council would make a fortune renting out the pitch to the public. — J. J., Dundee Taxpayer.

[A spokeswoman for Dundee City Council leisure and communities department said, “The artificial pitch will be available to members of the public from the middle of April.

“It will only be available to Grove Academy during school hours and Saturday mornings.”]

I went to the office to complain, but there was no one there.

I rang the bell for about 10 minutes, but no one answered.

I rang the Vinci Park contact number on the wall. The person answered and said it was not their responsibility to clear the roads, it was Ninewells.

I feel that if Vinci Park, the car park operators, can give parking tickets for the roads they should have to make sure they are clear.

They are quick at taking money, so they should give you the service you expect. — Expected Better, Dundee.
