Colgan 180k

Presswood 150k

Colgan is certainly not worth his ?180k salary as he has been promoted in Dundee City Council despite his failure to do his job properly.
Colgan was the Dundee City Council Director of Finance when one of his employees stole almost ?1 million from Dundee City Council by diverting payments for invoices to this employee?s own bank accounts.
Colgan was promoted to Director of Corporate Affairs while his corrupt employee was suspended awaiting his trial at the High Court.
Colgan was in charge of selling Dundee House to a Canadian insurance company on a sale and lease back deal which will cost the Dundee City council taxpayers more money in the long run.
Dundee City Council had to spend ?500k on the Dundee House roof before the Canadian insurance company would accept the deal.
Colgan was then promoted to be the Chief Executive of Dundee City Council with little mention about his promotion apart from in local authority websites and publications.

Couldn't see international white history month and why does a basically Christian country need an interfaith week?

I have lost the plot with the roads issue. What are the two solutions? Can you give a link? It sounds odd because I thought that TS did not volunteer any solutions, ever. Just interested to be better informed and not meaning any criticism of your post.

TS say a graded slip road would be the ideal solution, Nelms does not agree , and has rejected this solution , probably due to cost

Is there enough rise and drop between the road and the proposed car park to allow for a graded slip or would it mean additional cost to bank up from the road and back to car park level? Is it a preference of TS or required by regulation?

I can 100% see why the developers would oppose the graded slip if it meant extra cost and if it's not absolutely necessary.

The question is.
Does Nelms really want the new stadium development at Campy Nou or is he rejecting TS graded slip road solution to keep kicking the can down the road to keep Nelms in the public eye.
I do not know where Nelms is going to get funding for a ?100 million plus new stadium development at Campy Nou when it has been stated that there was not enough value in the site when it was going to cost ?20 million less ?6.5 million for selling part of the site for new luxury housing resulting in a net cost of ?13.5 million.

Thanks Deeranged for the point you make about Mainlanddee's information. Is it a preference or is it a requirement? Can see why John Nelms might want to argue the point.

Thats fair enough, but its wrong for nelms to sayTS have not provided any solutions, unfortunately at the end of the day , nelms needs TS approval to build a slip road off a TS road

But a preference isn't a solution. It's certainly a proposal but it solves nothing so why delay?
