Last week it was reported in the Courier that Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited had signed up new consultants to deal with their new stadium development at Campy Campy Nou.
What has happened to the previous firm of transport consultants who were signed up by Nelms about two years ago.
Have they told Nelms what has to be done to get approval from Transport Scotland but Nelms on behalf of Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited is not prepared to spend the money, so nothing gets done.
In my opinion it is high time that the DSA committee members ask Nelms what is happening with his new stadium development at Campy Nou and when his PPIP application is going to be submitted for discussion by the Dundee City Council planning committee members.

Maybe the previous consultants could not resolve the issues with TS?

Maybe they cannot be resolved.

They don’t need resolved. Like any football ground in the world, they’re will be around 1 hour of travel congestion before and after the game.

It does seem as though there is something fundamental that has not yet been resolved. Imagine if there was no carparking in the project. Would that be a help? I think the Eden Project is being designed along these principles, and yet there a green corridor approach being pushed for Dock Streer, one of the material routes for buses and cars. It seems odd that there are no clear drawings that show what the club has to do to get planning permission that is acceptable to TS.

There is one major difference between the Eden Project on Dock Street and the new stadium on the A90 Kingsway.
The A90 Kingsway is a trunk road which comes under the control of Transport Scotland.
Meanwhile Dock Street is not a trunk road and it comes under the control of Dundee City Council.
This is why the Dundee City Councillors gave planning permission for the Eden Project just as the useless and incompetent Dundee City Councillors gave M & S planning permission to move to the Gallagher Retail Park despite the traffic congestion on Dock Street.
If Tim Keyes had purchased the site of the old gas works on Dock Street for his new football stadium it would have received planning permission ages ago as the Dundee City Councillors are not interested in traffic congestion on Dock Street.

I've driven along Dock Street many, many times and have never encountered significant traffic congestion.

Recently I have driven on several occasions on Dock Street to take my wife to M & S in the Gallagher Retail Park and it was gridlock leading up to the traffic lights at the entrance to the Gallagher Retail Park thanks to the dozy and incompetent Dundee City Councillors.

I've driven in major cities all over Europe - Milan, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Athens etc. Take it from me there is no major congestion, and definitely no gridlock, on Dock Street.
