Street of the Week: Shepherd’s Loan The earliest documentation we found of this road is from John Wood’s 1821 map of Dundee, which shows 2 lone houses on the street, likely belonging to its namesake, the Shepherd family (who were Shepherds only by name, not profession).

Barnardo's sitting service – can you help? More details at tiny.cc/Barnardos and please see more information including contact details in the poster.

We cannot stand by and wait for Elon Musk to do the right thing while people are being abused and exploited. Liberal Democrats are calling for a full criminal investigation into X’s UK operations.

Importing illegal meat into the UK? You won't get arrested, but your lorry may get cleaned at taxpayers' expense.

Margaret should have been home within 14 weeks, but she’s been in hospital for 14 months. Every night in Scotland there are 2,000 people stuck in hospital because care packages are not available. You cannot fix the crisis in our NHS until you fix the crisis in care.

Many businesses are being faced with the prospect of massive hikes to their non-domestic rates. We are calling for an immediate pause to the business rates revaluation. If this has happened to you, we want to hear your experience and your story in our survey below.

Margaret was rushed to hospital as she’d become paralysed from the waist down. She should have been home within 14 weeks, but she’s been in hospital for 14 months, because the care support she needs is unavailable. It’s happening the length and breadth of the country.

Horrifying to see an American woman shot dead by an ICE agent on a Minneapolis street, and Donald Trump’s ghoulish response is truly chilling. Britain mustn’t follow America down this dark path.

Many businesses are being faced with the prospect of massive hikes to their non-domestic rates. Some are facing increases of over 550%. We now need to see an immediate pause to the business rates revaluation, to ensure businesses are not hit with these eye-watering increases.

"The way Ed Davey said it was much better" Ed Davey challenges Keir Starmer over Trump at #PMQs

I have written to the Secretary of State once again urging the Government to deliver long-overdue justice for WASPI women. The Ombudsman has been clear: these women were failed by the system, and they deserve fair compensation - not more delay.

Wishing Orthodox and Coptic Christian communities in the UK and across the world a happy Christmas today.

Liberal Democrats are winning again. The Holyrood election in May is an opportunity for change with fairness at its heart. Because Scotland deserves better - and with the Scottish Liberal Democrats, you can vote for it.

The Corso Sheltered Complex is bringing in the New Year with a fabulous film! 'Conclave' starring Ralph Fiennes will screen this Friday - 9th January - at 2pm. Residents and visitors welcome - the event is completely free of charge. #dundeewestend

Donald Trump is a bully - Britain should be standing up to him.

We know what happens when a US President ignores international law. My friend Charles Kennedy understood what was at stake in 2003 when he stood against the Iraq war. Unlike the Labour government, we will not look the other way.

A bespoke customs union with the EU is the single biggest lever the government has to fix economy and tackle the cost of living crisis.

For years the SNP and Greens planned to circumvent the landfill ban by sending 100 lorryloads of rubbish a day to England. Now ministers have come up with a system of red tape to dodge their own ban, where waste still goes to landfill in Scotland after a rubberstamping exercise.

Brits don’t side with bullies. Yet, Nigel Farage can’t help cheering them on.

No matter where you are in Scotland, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot next year. Every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on that ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

Just a reminder that our weekly ward surgeries do not take place during the school Christmas and New Year holidays so there are no surgeries today as the schools are not back until tomorrow. Surgeries return next Tuesday - 13th January. #dundeewestend

"UK government's refusal to brand Donald Trump's actions a clear breach of international law looks ridiculous "Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator, but that does not give President Trump a free pass for illegal action" - Liberal Democrat 🔶 leader Ed Davey MP www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You don't suck up to bullies like Trump. You stand up to them.

Contacting the City Council We are pleased to have been advised by the council's Customer Services Manager that self-service phones are now available in seven libraries across the city allowing direct access to council officers.

Europe is crying out for closer relations with Britain. A customs union would boost growth, restore confidence in bond markets, and save billions in debt costs.

Standing up for international law means condemning leaders when they break it whether that’s Vladmir Putin or Donald Trump.

Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (Between Perth and Dundee)

Trump is acting with impunity in Venezuela, sending a dangerous signal that leaders can be removed by force. The PM must call an emergency UN Security Council meeting. @calummillerld.bsky.social

The Tay, the Tay, the silvery Tay. It flows from Perth to Dundee every day.

Today our message to Starmer is loud and clear: scrap the £3bn Trump tax on our NHS and put that money into social care now. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Starmer has found billions to pay off the bully in the White House, but still can’t find the money to fix social care. Lib Dems are calling on Starmer to scrap the £3bn Trump Tax on the NHS and fix the social care crisis now.

🚨 It's time for Starmer to scrap the Trump NHS tax and fix the social care crisis.

With thanks to SJ Bogue and Dundee Memories, the carnival rides and other stalls that were part of the Dundee 800 New Year celebrations back in 1991.
