A range of improvement works are to take place in Dundee following approval by Dundee City Council’s neighbourhood services committee.

The £500,000 works include repairs and replacements to window and door surrounds in 547 council houses.

In addition, footway and surfacing improvements will take place at the Lilybank Housing Scheme and wall repair work will be carried out at Kennet Walk.

Tenders were also accepted for eight additional parking spaces in both Duncan Place and Huntley Place.

Neighbourhood services committee convener, Councillor Kevin Cordell, said: “These are important to making the city look and feel more attractive.

“These will see us making a significant impact across the city, the works will see hundreds of properties across the city benefit by having additional parking spaces and improvement works to their properties.”

The tenders were discussed by the neighbourhood services committee on August 20.
