It generates electricity instead of powering a millstone.

Did the Dutch throw up their arms when it was decided to “ruin” the skyline of their flat countryside with windmills? I doubt it.

Was there a riot in Trumpton when Windy Miller set up shop? I don’t think so.

In fact, if anything, I find the Michelin turbine quite pleasing and soothing to look at. It’s elegant and sends a clear message to others that Dundee is willing to play its part in reducing global warming.

I would welcome their appearance at the Ninewells complex. — Barney McGrew.

We should be proud of the people who organised this event. It saddens me that a minority of Dundonians can do nothing but moan.

Angry Teenager must have been the only music fan who didn’t know it was an all-ticket event.

A big thank-you for a great weekend. — All Danced Out.

I CANNOT believe people are moaning about Dundee having the very successful Big Weekend at Camperdown Park.

This brought revenue to pubs, clubs, restaurants and shops.

I was lucky to get tickets and had a great time.

Had I not got tickets, I would still have gone to the after-show parties across the city, which were great.

Thanks Radio 1, I’m sure the majority of Dundee people appreciate you picking the city. — Jordan, Dundee.

THE BIGGEST thing in decades, if not ever, to come to Dundee, and all some can do is criticise.

Every town and city in Britain would love to be chosen as the venue for the Big Weekend.

The majority of Dundonians welcomed the event, ticket or no ticket.

Well done Radio 1, and well done Dundee. — Best Weekend Ever.

IN REPLY to all the negative letters about the Big Weekend, the ticket allocation was random and there were loads of Dundee people there.

I think it’s a case of sour grapes. Dundee was rockin’ thanks to Radio 1. — Happy Chic.

AFTER THE success of Radio 1’s Big Weekend, it is time to start a similar type of music festival for the people of Dundee.

Now it’s been shown Dundee can stage a big music event, I’m sure we can attract top artists alongside local bands.

For too long people have had to travel outwith the city to watch top bands. Over to you, Dundee City Council. — Mac the Knife.

I CANNOT believe people are moaning about Radio 1’s Big Weekend.

People should be grateful Dundee was picked to hold such a great event.

Thanks to Radio 1 we are on the map. — Grateful.

IT WAS interesting to read that Dundee will benefit from Radio 1 Weekend “by millions, for years to come”.

I think we, as taxpayers, will have to find a lot of money over the next few decades, sorting hearing defects and problems that stem from the overly loud rock and pop.

Thank God I was not within earshot of Camperdown Park at the weekend and my sympathy goes to those who were.

Melody is dead. Music is something from the 1950s. — Dundee Reader.

It put Dundee on the map, leaving it open to other organisers of large events to consider the city in the future.

Most of Camperdown Park was still open for the public.

The Big Weekend was well organised by Radio 1 and the council, and was appreciated by those lucky enough to get tickets. — Get A Life.

STRESSED OUT can use Camperdown Park on any of the year’s other 51 weekends.

The Big Weekend was a one-off event.

Save the moaning for something really worthwhile. — Postman Pat.

The way to find answers would be for Radio 1 to release a list of names and the people who did not receive tickets could feed this information back on Radio 1’s website.

This would allow the truth to be known. — Maggie, Dundee.

I REPLY to Disgusted, who claimed posties let people down over tickets, just because a couple of postal workers have been suspended pending investigations there is no need to jump to conclusions.

My husband, a postie, has been getting abuse from people who applied for tickets and were unlucky.

Postmen and women do a great job and deserve our thanks. — Angry Postie’s Wife.

The rumour is the services from these offices are to be transferred to new offices being built in Lochee and Happyhillock and that these are to be operated as call centres.

Who wants another call centre? — Concerned Tenant.

[A Dundee City Council spokesman said, “Two new district housing offices, one at Lochee and one in Midmill Road/Pitkerro Road, will replace existing offices in Lochee, Whitfield, Kirkton and the Central Office in Crichton Street. They are not call centres, but will provide a full housing service, with an advice and information team also based at 3 Shore Terrace to deal with all inquiries.”]

I do not have a problem with saloon cars, but many are operated by elderly drivers who work for a few hours a day and on a Friday and Saturday.

They do not supply the city with a 45-hour week like I do.

If disabled taxis were to operate only on alternate days as suggested, I would not be able to make a living.

It is the responsibility of the council to get this issue sorted. — Disabled Taxi Driver.

We also thank our loyal fans for the tremendous help and support and hope we have done you proud by bringing the Scottish Cup back to Dundee.

A big thanks as well to John Brown and to the Tele for the coverage. — Management, Players and Committee, Rowantree AFC.

We need change now. What is the Government doing about these daily occurrences?Why are murderers, paedophiles and others given short-term sentences?

Youths laugh in the face of the law, knowing they will probably not go to jail, or, if so, for a short sentence.

The people should have a voice, as we have had enough. — N. G. White.

There is little or no vision on how Dundee should become more successful in terms of quality of life, promoting tourism and attracting new jobs for ordinary Dundonians.

A handful of jobs in hi-tech industries is of no use to those of us who are not rocket scientists. — Jeff Duncan, Dundee.

These measures are vitally important, both for children getting a safe and easy access to the secondary school and the many elderly residents who need to get to the shops. — Keith B. Arnott, Kinnordy Terrace, Dundee.

Yet nothing appears to be taking shape. It’s all a bit of an eyesore. — Curious, Invergowrie.
