A series of improvement works have been proposed for two cemeteries in Dundee.

Councillors will be asked to approve the work at a meeting next week.

The upgrade works have been suggested for Balgay Cemetery and Eastern Cemetery in the city.

If approved, more than £48,000 will be invested in the project, which will involve:

• The restoration of steps to improve safety within Balgay cemetery

• Improvements to drainage channels to reduce erosion of footpaths and headstones at Balgay cemetery

• Improvement works to drainage gullies at both cemeteries.

Councillor Vari McDonald, Depute Environment Convener, commented: "This work is needed to ensure our cemeteries remain up to standard. Both Balgay and Eastern are important and popular open spaces that must be maintained. I am sure these proposals will be widely welcomed."
