I agree the multis may not look very pretty, but neither do many of the tenements in the city. Should we knock these down as well so that visitors to the city think what a lovely town Dundee is?

I imagine all us flat dwellers would prefer lovely little semis with a nice little garden. However, I bet most decanted tenants from the multis will either end up in a cramped Victorian tenement, or a flat on one of the peripheral housing schemes.

Muiltis are a necessary part of the city because they are affordable housing.

Like all flats, the multis are nice to live in if you have good neighbours. The council should have a stricter vetting system for multi-dwellers. Four bad tenants can ruin the whole multi (80 odd flats). A bad tenant in a tenement flat can ruin the lives of five other families.

I don’t think Dundee’s social housing policy should be driven by the views of visitors to the city. Some of the most dynamic cities in the world have high-rise flats, and I think Dundee should keep a few of them for those who like to live in them.

If I was on the council house waiting list, I would be a little confused by the council demolishing all these perfectly good homes. — M. Y. O’Pinion.

It’s the removal and abandoning of shopping trolleys. The number of trolleys lying around in various places is just ridiculous. On the bus home last week I counted 13 trolleys between the Scott Fyffe roundabout and my sheltered housing complex in Douglas.

Not only are these trolleys an eyesore, they are extremely dangerous, and a few nights ago I looked out of my window and youths were having what can only be described as a ‘Trolley Grand Prix’ down one of the main thoroughfares in Douglas. It is only a matter of time before this leads to a serious injury.

I ask these people why they feel the need to push these trolleys home or to the bus stop? I am an elderly woman and I manage one way or another to get my shopping home without having to push my trolley all the way home.

Also, I wonder if Asda staff could be more vigilant and make sure their trolleys are staying where they belong as there could soon be more of them in Douglas than in Asda itself. — Unhappy Shopper.

I don’t know the circumstances of this incident, but I’m surprised there are not more accidents given the driving habits of some motorists.

I travel over the bridge regularly and have noted the fact that the majority of drivers choose to ignore the 50 mph limit which is in place on the bridge.

Have drivers not given thought to the fact that if anything unexpected happens, there is not much room for manoeuvre and, therefore, they not only put themselves at risk but other drivers also? — Mr M. L. McGuigan, Hometay House, Monifieth.

Gordon Brown is an unelected Prime Minister, unlike some previous premiers, he did not even face an election in his own party.

Perhaps if he had, there wouldn’t have been so many plots and coup attempts to get rid of him.

And why did he face no opposition?

Because Gordon Brown schemed and plotted to ensure that he had no serious rival and that even an innocuous challenge by a lightweight Labour MP couldn’t get off the ground.

To compare that to the election of the Scottish Government, where over two million people voted, is clutching at straws. — Political Connoisseur.

Is it not time the council joined the real world and scrapped the no-redundancy policy?

It would do the people of Dundee good to see the jobs held and awarded on merit and ability alone, and essential work being done with the money saved.

If funding is being pulled on the basis of non-performance, start at the council. Then we’ll all be better off. — Fairer Spending.

I think the sheriff was more than in his right to call James a low life and a liar.

I am disappointed people can actually stick up for anyone who is involved with drugs of any sort.

Do people not understand that drugs ruin lives and sometimes worse? — Law-Abiding Citizen.

But what bothers me more than the language used in court is the lenient sentence doled out by our sheriffs who seem to consider probation and community service suitable punishment for muggers and thugs. — Sy Charles, Finlow Terrace, Fintry.

After speaking to my grandparents who were born in the early 1920s, both used jam jars to gain entry to the Palladium and the Nelson cinemas in Dundee. — Paul Hoskins, Broughty Ferry.
