Dundee City Council is to discuss boosting cycling and walking facilities with a £162,000 investment scheme.

Plans for lowered kerbs and footway improvements, pedestrian access and cycling network upgrades will be considered by the council's city development committee on Monday, 25 April.

The proposed projects are funded by a Scottish Government capital grant.

Cllr Will Dawson said: "These proposals would build upon recent developments in the city for walkers and cyclists. We are doing all we can to encourage people to keep fit and use sustainable transport methods.

"Projects such as more lowered kerbs and puffin crossings would make a contribution to people's safety, improving accessibility, so that they can get out and enjoy taking exercise. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible to enjoy these physical and low emission activities in Dundee, and as a result have a healthier population and improved air quality for all of us."
