At several points along the central reservation of the Kingsway dual carriageway, “parking bays” have appeared.

They’re very smart, properly tarmaced — but who’s going to use them?

Of course we know it’s not for any member of the public’s convenience — the speed camera signs that have been popping up recently along the same stretch of road suggest these bays are for mobile speed camera vans.

So, just how much have these bays added to the costs of the project and who is footing the bill? Wait, that’ll be the poor motorist through their fines. — Commuter.

[David Farmer, Tayside Safety Camera Partnership manager, said, “The ‘lay-bys’ are hard standing areas which were funded by Tayside Safety Camera Partnership and installed at existing safety camera locations on the A90 Kingsway and A972 Kingsway East following risk assessments and discussions with Transport Scotland.

“It was decided that the new hard standings were required to ensure the safety of staff while operating mobile camera equipment. New permanent safety camera signs were also included in the project to reduce the risks formerly experienced by TSCP staff when placing temporary safety camera signs at the roadside.

“These additional works were co-ordinated with the overall improvement works being carried out by BEAR at Forfar Road/Kingsway junction in order to minimise traffic management and delays to the travelling public. The cost of the work was £47,125.”

A spokesman for Transport Scotland said, “Transport Scotland is represented in each of Scotland’s eight safety camera partnership areas as the roads authority responsible for trunk roads across the country.

“As such, it is fully committed to reducing the number of fatalities and serious injuries on its roads brought about by high speeds and is keen to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to provide proper information and safety for the travelling public and camera operatives alike.”]

I am sick of my family being terrorised and my property being vandalised and nothing being done about it, by little yobs with no respect for themselves, let alone other people.

Give them alcohol and the problems intensify.

What is the point of calling the police or getting Anti-Social Behaviour teams involved when there is nothing they can do?

If they think they can get away with it they will carry on.

They are not victims and need criminal charges brought against them. — St Mary’s Resident.

In the interests of transparency, I feel that the voice of the silent majority should be heard.

I also feel that there should continue to be a choice for disabled and able-bodied alike as to what kind of taxi they prefer to use, rather than trying to impose a solution for wheelchairs which could equally discriminate against those with other disabilities.

Wind farms are inefficient and extremely expensive as a way of creating energy.

To the politicians the global warming scaremongering is “manna from heaven” as an excuse to tax anything that moves. — E. Bignell.

The reason for my confusion was the statement from east end Councillor Christina Roberts who said, “I’ve also heard about dealing outside a phone box in Glenconnor Drive and in Linlathen.”

This phone box was removed by British Telecom nearly a year ago.

I know that it is difficult for elected members to know about everything that is going on in their area, but you would think that she would have noticed that it is no longer there. — Allan Petrie, Fair to MidLin Group.

The reason we have a softly-softly approach to crime, particularly violent crime, is the European Convention on Human Rights, incorporated into Scots Law in 2000. — Dryburgh Reader, Dundee.

Why would you pay £80 for a pair of school shoes? I earn a good wage but I wouldn’t pay £80 for shoes for myself let alone a school age child.

If you knew your daughter had problem feet, did you not feel it appropriate to take her to try on school shoes? — J. M. W.
