A combination of heavy rainfall and melting ice led to a large overflow of water at the junction of Cedar Road and Forthill Road last Saturday.
And this caused difficulty for motorists and pedestrians who struggled to get past. He said that the ar
ea is often impassable when it rains.
At times of heavy rain, the water can also obstruct the entrance to Capability Scotland's family support service on Forthill Road, according to Councillor Scott.
He went on: "Although there was flooding in a lot of places last Saturday morning, no doubt due to a combination of the rainfall and the previous long spell of snow and ice, the junction of Cedar Road and Forthill Road was particularly bad.
The view in Cedar Road last Saturday following a heavy rainfall.
"It has a history of flooding whenever there is any rainfall. This doesn't just cause an inconvenience to drivers but it also means that pedestrians are unable to use the pavement.
"Sometimes the entrance to Anton House (Capability Scotland) is blocked by it and if there is very heavy rain the water that comes over the top of the kerb causes problems to householders further downhill in Seafield Road."
Dundee City Council had previously informed Mr Scott that the sewer capacity in the area is unable to deal with the surface water run-off, causing an overflow. He has now called on the council and Scottish Water to find a solution to the flooding.
He continued: "I have raised this issue with both the council and Scottish Water over the years and each time I have been told that the matter is being looked at.
"The council and Scottish Water have discussed the issue of flooding in Cedar Road as part of the surface water management partnership. This section of sewer is included in Scottish Water's regular desilting activities and the gullies are cleaned on a regular basis to ensure that additional grit is not washed into the sewer."
Last year Scottish Water and Morrison Construction completed a £4.5 million upgrade of the sewer network to alleviate flooding in the centre of Broughty Ferry.
Flooding that had plagued residents in St Vincent Street for decades was also resolved at the end of last year when silt in the gully leading to the sewer was cleared.
Mr Scott added: "The council has recently been able to come up with a solution to deal with the age old flooding issue at St Vincent Street in Broughty Ferry caused by the gullies, so it can't be beyond Scottish Water to come up with a solution to this problem in Cedar Road caused by the sewer."
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: "Scottish Water plays a small but significant role, along with a number of partner organisations such as SEPA and local councils, in addressing the issue of flooding.
"We have invested significantly in Broughty Ferry and will continue to play our part in looking to improve our waste water network where necessary.
"Across Scotland we are already working with a number of local authorities to address the issue of flooding, including Dundee City Council."
