Council To Vote On £2.5m Housing Upgrade Programme

Dundee City Council is set to vote on rolling out a £2.5 million housing upgrade programme across the city.

Members will decide whether to approve the scheme at a neighbourhood services committee meeting on Monday, 13 June.

Projects include window replacements in Sandeman Street and West Kirkton, new roofs in Charleston and Douglas and external wall insulation in areas including Kinghorne Road, Cotton Road and Gardner Street.


The council will contribute £1.2m towards the programme, while the Scottish Government has provided £600,000.

John Alexander convener of the council's neighbourhood services committee, said: "The recently released Fairness Commission report highlighted the need to continue to tackle the scourge of fuel poverty in Dundee. Key to this is our ability to continue to punch above our weight in bringing in funding and rolling out our external wall insulation programme which has already benefitted more than 2000 properties."
