Dykes of Gray is a development of new housing, part of the 'Western Gateway' of Dundee City.

There are now more than 1800 people living there, and plans to double that -

yet people are still waiting for community facilities:

suitable active travel connections,

a frequent bus service,

a new Primary School (now planned to open August 2029) - currently young people are bussed or privately transported to their schools which are scattered throughout the area;

a village hall was promised by the developer but not delivered.

It's 5.5 miles west of Dundee city centre  and 1 mile north of Invergowrie, 2 miles south of Muirhead.

There is no gathered community there, but there is a lively and active Community group - that is where we support and are engaged, and have contributed in a number of ways, including a community tree planting and celebrating a community-initiated pathway.

Here we try 'fresh expressions', exploring new ways to create community, in a way that will be appropriate in the context, for the local people.
