Non-militant’s suggestion this is because the city is awash with militancy won’t wash.

Of the examples he or she cited, Timex closed nearly 15 years ago and the Ford fiasco fell apart a full decade before that.

What is true is that Dundee has lost over 1000 much-needed jobs recently. Despite this, five months passed before Holyrood politicians sat down with council officials.

Given this lethargy, the challenge for all the political parties in Dundee, as well as our MSPs and MPs, is the urgent need to put aside any silly bickering and focus on the important issues.

This means demanding that Holyrood and Westminster assist the city as they have been so keen to invest in other towns and cities. — Politico.

This was not the decision of the members as stated by a spokesperson for the club.

The decision was taken by the committee at a special meeting.

I visit the club on a Sunday night and enjoy the dancing, but now I am told no more bands will be playing there. — Now Ex-Member.

I was somewhat bemused to read that Castle Terrace residents are objecting to this.

While walking along the Esplanade recently, I noticed that one of the front gardens in this street resembled a scene from Steptoe and Son’s yard.

A restaurant in place of the vandalised building as it stands at this moment can only enhance the surrounding areas.

Look at the glass pavilion, further along the esplanade. This is beautiful and is enjoyed by many people, young and old. — Juicy Lucy.

I find MSP Joe FitzPatrick’s naivety laughable. He expects T-Mobile to comply with this enforcement action rather than appeal it.

T-Mobile have used every trick in the book to ensure this monstrosity stays operational.

Two applications for permanent masts have been rejected by Dundee City Council and, as I am informed by my councillor, these are now in an appeals process with the Scottish Office.

I fully expect the appeal to be a success and a third permanent mast erected.

Furthermore, I find it incredulous that temporary “emergency” planning was granted initially to erect a mast powered by two noisy electric generators that keep half the neighbourhood awake at night.

Bearing in mind this particular mast was erected after the last Ardler multi was demolished (previous location of mast) questions must be asked regarding an “emergency” application.

Meanwhile, I have been in contact with the council’s environmental health department regarding the noise from generators but have had no response. — Resident, Cox Gardens, Dundee.

While shopping in Dundee, my husband and I were shocked by the manner and tone a supervisor was inflicting on a young female colleague.

The poor lass got a lecture in no uncertain terms on the importance of the erection of a display stand.

When he asked the girl why this stand was not built earlier, she stated she and another employee had been asked to assist in the store elsewhere.

He then harangued the girl within earshot of my husband and me.

Supervisors should know there is a time, a place and criteria when attempting to influence/educate staff.

And it certainly should not be on the shop floor where customers are in full earshot. — L. N., Dundee.

She has been told all employees are to have their employment terminated on March 31.

They will then be offered a new contract, but failure to sign this will mean dismissal.

This is the biggest attack on workers’ rights since the dark days of Thatcherism.

Indeed Lady Thatcher is sure of a warm welcome at the City Chambers from this rainbow coalition. — Real Labour.

I loved the cheese pie. It was a sort of quiche, but better.

What did other people think about school dinners then and does anyone have the recipe for the cheese pie? — J. Paterson, Holland.
