Residents across Dundee are set to benefit from new fire safety equipment under a new £8 million investment.

As part of the scheme, at least one smoke alarm will be installed in the most frequently used room, at least one smoke alarm in spaces like hallways and at least one heat alarm in every kitchen.

Kevin Cordell, convener of Dundee City Council's neighbourhood services committee said: "As you might imagine it's a big challenge to get access to every single council house in the city when you're talking about almost 13,000 of them.

"Letters requesting access for this work are being sent out and I would ask people to please respond to this as soon as possible. We need you to communicate with the council to help us ensure the safety of you and your family."

The work is already underway across the city.
