Heavy snow showers gradually dying out becoming wet and windy this evening. Further accumulations of 2-5 cm of snow are likely above about 100 m, but also to low levels locally, and more widely over the northern half of Scotland where a further 10 cm or more is likely above 200 m. Icy patches are likely to develop as well. Hail and lightning will be additional hazards, especially close to western coasts. Meanwhile, a more persistent spell of snow may settle at low levels across Scotland on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to transport in and around Ardler. “Ardler Village” is an area in the north-west of Dundee, Scotland, built on land previously owned by Downfield Golf Club. The housing scheme was completed in the late 1960s and was synonymous with the six 17-storey multi-storey blocks that formed the northern part of the scheme, and which were demolished between 1993 and 2007. This was a major project of regeneration finished in 2014. Ardler has undergone huge change since the mid-1990s, with the demolition of the first multi in 93' and the old four-storey blocks of flats. The re-building of Ardler started in 1998 when a partnership of Sanctuary Scotland Housing Association, Wimpey Homes and HTA architects was selected by residents and Dundee City Council. Work started in January 2000 and is now 80% complete towards the target of creating 734 homes for rent, 69 refurbished homes and between 150 to 230 homes for private sale. There is substantial open space in and around the village with new and innovative landscapes that include sustainable urban drainage systems, meadow and woodland areas. A priority for the regeneration of the Ardler Housing Estate included long-term strategies for social inclusion and community development. The Ardler Village Trust has been set up by local people and partners in the regeneration to help achieve this.
