Dundee City Council has announced plans for a £387 million five-year building programme.

The projects will be undertaken between 2017 – 2022, with key schemes including enhancements to play areas, schools, care facilities and council housing.

Cllr Willie Sawers said: "This annual review of the current Council Plan identifies a number of successes and highlights why we have extremely good grounds for optimism," he said.

"But the report does highlight that there are a number of areas we need to keep concentrating on and we are all determined to make more efforts on the future.

"That is why I am pleased to see the ambition that is shown in the capital plan to take forward projects that will benefit people in communities across the city. 

"School buildings, the V&A Dundee, well insulated council housing and a replacement for Craigie House are among the highlights of this excellent vision for our city."

The local authority's policy and resources committee will meet to discuss details of the programme on Monday, 31 October.
