A lot of views have been expressed in the local press recently as to the lack of a Hogmanay celebration events in the heart of the city of Dundee compared to other citys in Scotland e.g Aberdeen, Stirling and of course Edinburgh. The Lord Provest John Letford has eventually commented on the subject saying it\'s a possibility however he is worried about costs and states he hasn\'t received any letters from Dundonians requesting such a celebration !! To save us all puting pen to paper this petition has been set up to prove to Mr Letford Dundee wants to celebrate alongside the rest of Scotland. Lets prove to Dundee City Council we want to celebrate our heritage our culture and our people by re-igniting a sense of community spirit getting together to see the old year out and to see the new year in. So come on folks lets give Mr Letford the response he\'s looking for !! Thank you

I honestly cannot believe how fast this is moving and honestly my head is spinning a bit because I just started this on a whim between chores. It seems like the entire city has been waiting for someone to finally bring this up and I am just so happy we are all finally on the same page about wanting to dance in the streets again.

Costs?? What about the money local businesses lose out on because everyone heads out of town? Think about the economy for once.

Dundee is going downhill fast. At least give us something to look forward to in the winter.

Miss the big crowds and the fireworks in the city center. It was always such good fun.

Its embarrassing that we have to travel to edinburgh just to celebrate our own new year. dundee is a big enough city to host its own party.
