Although I was always a fan of this facility in its previous guise, the interior now is simply spectacular. There are so many interesting things and the improved design of the interior makes it all the more accessible.

I walked around with my young granddaughter and she was just as impressed as I was.

She particularly liked the DC Thomson exhibition, but the truth is there are a lot of things to appreciate.

McManus should help the case to bring the V&A offshoot to Dundee.

The city is a cultural centre on the rise and the refurbished gallery and museum can only add to that. — Art Lover.

However, it is clear something needs to be done.

In the early years of the multis’ lives they were acceptable as they offered families a way out of slum housing.

However after 40 years they have become slum housing.

The reality is they are no longer a popular or adequate choice of housing.

The present and future Dundee public deserves better. Let’s have some vision and move forward and make the area a place we’d be proud to live in. — Local Resident.

Surely if people were going out for cheap drink, they would go into the town centre or the schemes within the city, where the alcohol is a lot cheaper?

But obviously not all of these individuals seem to be able to afford the dearer prices in certain places in Broughty Ferry.

Perhaps this will now prove, that it is not just the impoverished who cause the troubles within our society, as this minimum pricing policy of the SNP would let us believe.

Produce the evidence that, by charging more for alcohol, the drink related problems will go away. — Allan Petrie, Blacklock Crescent, Dundee.

In the past, on a few occasions, they have refused to accept my money, stating it’s not legal tender.

Who is to say their money is legal tender in Scotland?

I find it very degrading to be told that my money is unacceptable.

More so if there is a crowd behind who are English. — Ronnie McIntosh, Balunie Drive, Dundee.

As health minister, I am responsible for the programme to tackle obesity and to meet the Scottish Government’s target in terms of physical activity for young people.

But the issues your letter writers are raising are for the council education department to address, which I am sure they will do.

Dundee City Council recently received plaudits for its successful provision of the target of two hours PE per week for all pupils and I am assured that will continue in new schools built in Dundee. I have no reason to believe the council’s new schools will have any lesser provision than existing schools.

I am glad the letter writers agree with the need to promote physical activity and to combat the growing threat of obesity. Schools have a great part to play in these objectives and the Scottish Government and Dundee City Council will continue to make progress on these issues. — Shona Robison MSP.

He contended the Lib Dems could have done more while in power.

As recently reported to members of Dundee City Council’s City Development Committee, in the period 1999-2004 under the then LibDem and Labour Scottish Executive, some 243 civil service posts were successfully secured for Dundee.

SNP politicians prior to the last election claimed they could do better. and made promises to Dundee on civil service jobs but the SNP Government has since then completely failed to deliver. They have let down the people of Dundee. — Cllr Fraser Macpherson, Liberal Democrat Group Leader, Dundee City Council.

So much bad publicity has been given to Hilltown recently and, in reality, often the incidents haven’t even taken place on what is known as the Hilltown.

To me, Hilltown is from approximately between the bus stops on Victoria Road and the multis nearby up to the Hilltown Clock, beside Main Street.

In my opinion, from the Hilltown Clock upwards is known as Coldside.

I ask people to stop making out the Hilltown is a terrible place to live when it is clearly not as bad as people are led to believe. — Hilltown Supporter.

This would allow prisoners on community service to claim expenses. This would mean the taxpayer would foot the bill.

By this bill it would appear that it is to cut back on prison sentencing and short term jail time, also less people in prison for less than six months.

Prison is for people who break the law so when they are sent there they should go through due process of law and do their time. — Jimmy Borland.
