The UK government has announced the allocation of £14.4 million for the redevelopment of a Dundee multi-storey car park into a sustainable transport hub.

The funding has been allocated from the Levelling Up Fund, issued by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

The Bell Street Green Transport Hub will help to deliver a city centre where people want to live, work and socialise. The shell of the building will remain the same, but the new facility created inside will include:
