I have had to dodge off the footpaths when I am out with my children and my dog, for fear of being run over.

My kids can’t even play on the cycle bumps.

They are also riding along streets in Fintry at full speed. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets injured as they have no respect for pedestrians or other road users. — Fed-Up, Fintry, Dundee.

If just a little more attention was paid to maintaining the ponds, the benefits to wildlife would be enormous. As it is, the waterfowl are having trouble swimming from one end to the other. — Mrs Swan.

[A spokewoman for Dundee City Council leisure and communities department said, “We are aware of the water shortage problems, which are causing the unpleasant affects on both ponds and are trying to resolve the problem along with Scottish Water.”]

Some people do take notice and back off instead of sitting on my bumper.

As a mother of two young children and a baby I like to warn people they could hurt innocent children.

I can honestly say I believe the sign in my rear window has made people think twice. — Mad Drivers.

While these signs may not make other drivers crash into an alternative car, they do offer some protection nonetheless.

If, for example, you do not have such a sign and are being tailgated, you will likely continue to be tailgated. If, however, a sign is displayed, the effect should hopefully be to make the driver behind get his dangerous behaviour in check.

Once a driver is close enough to read such a sign, they may already be too close and in need of a wake-up call. — Drive To Survive.

I have one on my rear window, and when I see one on another vehicle I pull back a little and it does not distract my attention from the road.— Penelope Pitstop.

They are in place to advise emergency services that a baby or child is travelling in case of a collision.

Safety should be the number one priority for everyone. — Conscientious Mother.

What the sign often means is the parent is going to make some outlandish manoeuvre, when distracted by the travelling child.

It is only the quick reflexes of other drivers which avert serious accidents. — Distracted.

This money is being given to Eddie Stobbart Haulage to allow the new arrangement to work.

Tesco will save on road tax, insurance, petrol and the maintenance of the 260 trucks and also the wages of the drivers they will no longer require.

So why is Tesco not paying for its new transport arrangements? — Tax Paying Pensioner, Dundee.

This is wrong. Neither Christianity nor Islam is above criticism.

Muhammed was a military commander who wielded the sword against his enemies.

According to Muhammed it was the duty of the faithful to conquer as much of the world as possible for Islam. The Arabs did this with extraordinary rapidity a few years after Muhammed died.

Syria, Persia and India were invaded, Constantinople was besieged and Egypt was conquered as was Spain.

These are the facts of history which cannot be disputed. — Ron Smith, Dundee.

Another interesting development is the feedback given to retailers that visitors often indicate a willingness to return.

Dundee, retail wise, is clearly heading in the right direction. But it cannot afford to be complacent.

Visitors and locals are scunnered by the sight of litter and dog dirt.

Seagulls are another menace. Their presence is increased by easy access to black bags full of rubbish.

While these problems are not confined to Dundee, it is important that retailer, resident, councillor and community council remain focused on the negative image this gives of our city.— L. M. L.
