Dundee Council Seeks Input On Future Development Of City Centre

Dundee City Council has launched a new online consultation seeking views on the future development of the city centre.

The Council is looking for opinions that will help signal the direction for the next 30 years of development and investment opportunities, as well as what should happen with major sites, transport, active travel, pedestrianisation and environmental improvements.

Mark Flynn convener of Dundee City Council's city development committee said: "This consultation offers a great opportunity for people to have their say on what Dundee city centre should look like in the future.

"It gives local people, businesses, visitors and other stakeholders a chance to directly influence the process and therefore how we go forward under the main themes of living, working, visiting, connectivity and the public realm.

"I would urge as many people as possible with as broad a range of views and experiences to take part in the consultation.

"It's easy and quick, and above all it's your city and your city centre so please use this offer to make your mark on the next three decades of progress."

The council has set out opportunities for enhancing the quality of the environment and the range of different uses the city centre can offer, as well as providing a shop window for potential investment into Dundee to help form a strategic plan.

John Alexander leader of Dundee City Council added: "We believe that our city centre needs to be more about supporting and celebrating people, public life and business.

"It needs more people living, working and visiting during the day and in the evening to ensure that it thrives into the future."
