More surprisingly, not one neighbour spotted the despicable thieves cutting the window out to break in. She has been staying at my father’s house following a bad fall and the opportunistic criminals, who had quite possibly been watching the house, chose their moment to break in.

Too regularly we hear of our elderly having to put up with attack and abuse. It is truly appalling that anyone has their property burgled, but to do it to someone of my grandmother’s age is even worse.

The guilty party should feel very ashamed. Let’s hope that he or she is caught and given the punishment deserved.

In the meantime, let’s work together to look after the most vulnerable members of our city. — Frances Morrison, Sharpthorne Court, Brighton.

The gardens in the Dundee primary school grounds, particularly the shrubbery, had become an eyesore. A phone call to the CJS resulted in a great response.

During the recent school holidays, a small team turned up at the school to do the work.

We have also been offered help over the winter. It’s great to see such a positive outcome in our community while constructively allowing suitable offenders to make amends for past misdeeds. — Colin Milne, Craigiebarns Primary School Parent Partnership Group Member.

She did indeed begin her acting career in Dundee. She performed in several shows at the Rep including Midsummer Night’s Dream and Dracula.

I remember her well. She was quite a character, even back then, She was a really nice girl and I am pleased she is having such a successful career. — Helen Watson, Administration Manager, Dundee Rep.

This is all due to the restructure of the service and the previous drug support workers’ contracts being terminated.

New support workers have been recruited, but are currently receiving orientation and induction to the service.

I have a child who is on the Time Tay Change books who has not been seen by a drug support worker for seven weeks.

My child has had to phone the DPS to ask about an appointment with a support worker and was told there was nobody available to see people at the clinics but to telephone the DPS if there was a problem.

My child is stable at the moment, on a methadone programme, and wishes to commence a reduction programme to get off it.

I urge Time Tay Change to get the support workers in place now because they are leaving addicts like my child very vulnerable because the support is not there. — Anxious Parent.

[NHS Tayside strategy and performance manager Neil Fraser said, “The Time Tay Change Project, provided by the Scottish Association for Mental Health, closed at the end of October at the end of their contract with NHS Tayside.

“The project provided rehabilitation support to recovering drug users in collaboration with NHS Tayside Drug Problem Service. Additional staff have now been recruited by NHS Tayside to enable us to continue to provide support and interventions to help in the rehabilitation and recovery of our patients.

“We are also currently working to provide more rapid access to treatment and better support for recovery and rehabilitation, and therefore anticipate further changes to the service.

“We aim to ensure that existing patients continue to be able to access care and treatment appropriate to their needs during this period and will keep patients informed of any changes.

“NHS Tayside regrets that your correspondent’s child has not received the support they expected and would urge them to get back in touch with the Drug Problem Service if no arrangements have been made for them in the interim.”]
