Frustrated residents of Dundee’s City Quay say their concerns about a controversial watersports course have gone unanswered.
Homeowners claim their demands for further information on the course have been ignored.
East Lothian firm Foxlake is due to open a wakeboarding course in the City Quay area later this summer.
The Dundee City Council-led project received planning permission recently, but local residents say queries they submitted about the project were not acknowledged.
Members of Dundee City Centre and Harbour Community Council say the first they heard of the development was in The Courier.
Community council chair Bill Newcombe said: “The design report had no details and no answers.
“This is going to bring in an awful lot of spectators. Where is everyone going to park?
“Maybe everything is fine. But nobody wants to talk to us and that is something that is disturbing.
“The first time we knew about this was in The Courier. There was no prior consultation. It’s very disappointing.
“We need to be in a position where we understand so we can either say yes we agree or no we don’t.
“I asked Foxlake how many spectators they are anticipating. There should be information for footfall and spectators. We’re not asking for information that they should not have.”
On the back of Tuesday night’s meeting, city centre councillor Lynne Short has arranged for a cross party group to meet residents and discuss concerns this Thursday.
Representatives from Foxlake, Dundee Apex manager Brett Davidge and Dundee’s waterfront development director Allan Watt will all meet members of the community council.
John Gibson, who owns various commercial units within City Quay, will also be present at the meeting.
The businessman has previously said some current aspects of the Foxlake plan will lead to “ugliness and disaster” for City Quay.
Councillor Lynne Short, who has organised the meeting, said the development progressed “quicker than expected” but added that she hoped the meeting will allow all parties to find a way forward.
Despite the complaints, a spokesman for Dundee City Council said: “The City Centre and Harbour Community Council was consulted direct and it provided comments in relation to the application.
“These were taken into consideration as part of the decision making process.”
