Hello! Just moved and (for the first time ever after many years living in Dundee), my tenement has no recycling bins. Same for the other buildings nearby. The closest "bring site" is quite far away and I don't drive.

Does anyone know if it's possible to order one from the council for a while building? I know you can for your house but this feels like a different situation.

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently found a Bank of Scotland bank card on Caird avenue, near Clepington road.
The name is H Brown..
Hoping someone can find the owner!

We presently live in Maidenhead in England. We've had our eye on Scotland for a little over a year now and last week my wife got the word that Tayside NHS wanted to hire her (after a great interview). So, we're on our way.

Dundee is a city I've been to a handful of times, but always on business.

Driving around last week, it occurred to me that I really don't know much about the city in terms of... well pretty much anything.

My wife and I have a small child, he's just two, and so we're looking for an area that feels safe.

I will tell you that I drove through a lot of areas that looked like they were not that. But looks can be deceiving.

I've identified Broughty Ferry north of Queen Street, and the "West End" south of Blackness and between Bellefield and Windsor as areas that LOOK (to me) like nice places to live.

But, again, looks aren't everything.

We've also found something northeast of town in Burnside of Duntrune, but that lacks proximity to... pretty much everything.

We'd like to keep our rent below £1200/mo, so we're not looking for the bougiest areas... we cannot afford them.

I work from home. We have a car. Our son needs a nursery. We don't have to live in Dundee proper, but we'd like to. We'd like to be around other families with kids. We're not interested in nightlife. Also, if it matters, I'm 43, my wife is 35.

Where should I be looking?

Cheers.

Hi folks. I am interested in if the Miley Walk is ok for me in a wheelchair?

Hiya,

Looking for somewhere to get some slightly more risky piercings (navel, tongue) and want to know where's clean and good quality- seeing a lot of mixed reviews. Has anyone got experience with either?

I know there’s some posts about dentists but they are really old. I’m feeling at a loss as I need a root canal for an infected and dead front tooth and the wait on the NHS is 8 months! I’ve had bad experiences with my own dentist too. I wonder if anyone can recommend somewhere in Dundee they’ve had really positive experiences with? Ones I’m looking at are Sandy McChesney, Union Street Dental, and Waterside Dental Care just now

Looking for a bee keeper that could sell me large containers of honey from around this area

I have many questions 😅 but firstly hiya 👋, i have an appointment/operation at Ninewells in mid July which may include overnight. I've never been to Dundee so wanted to ask how easy is it to get around in the hospital? Finding where I've to be. Is it sign posted well? Is there different entrances for different departments? I've to go to Surgical Admission Unit at 7.30am. Car park do i pay to park? Is there different parking areas?

Sorry if this is random but I'm stressing and want to form a plan to easy the load abit

Big thanks 😊

Looking for someone who can do a full dye on long hair, preferably not too expensive. Any recommendations?

This is such a long shot.

The band Big Country played in the Caird Hall, Dundee in 1986 and some fans went a bit crazy. My friend got dragged out the concert for jumping on the stage. There was a photo in the newspaper of the fans being escorted out, we think it was The Observer or something like that and I have looked online and on newspaper websites. If anyone has any idea or if a mega fan kept any newspaper clippings- please do let me know. We would love to see the photo as my good friend was one of the young "trouble makers!"

Alslamu alikum, hello i got a med offer from Dundee but i don't know where can i submit my O-Level results? As the eVision portal doesnt show a section for it in the tasks. I tried emailing them and the enagagement officiers too but they take ages to reply and so they still didnt reply to my emails nor Whatsapp messages. If anyone can help that would be appreciated thanks.

Hey!!

I’m doing some research about drug consumption patterns in Scotland for my Uni and the next step in my research is to visit/send a letter to some people convicted of substance possession.

Problem is I don’t know anyone in prison, so I have no one to write to/visit. Any advice on how to find someone to write to about it? Or how to speak to the authorities? Or how I could request a visit? I’m looking for prisons in Dundee, Bella Centre in particular. Anyone manage to do that before?

Any advice will be welcome :)

Anyone had long term issues with their Lebara signal? I get zero bars at home and can barely make calls without them cutting out or disconnecting. Been like that for months since I moved.
