Dundee Council Considers £2.4m Housing Improvements

Dundee councillors are set to consider tenders for over £2.4 million in improvements to council houses across the city next week.

The neighbourhood regeneration, housing and estate management committee will review proposals for work in Dryburgh, Menzieshill, and Midmill/West Kirkton.

"It is important that we continue to make sure that we help to generate a strong sense of pride and satisfaction in our communities, and one of the best ways of doing that is to invest in our housing stock," said Kevin Cordell, committee convener.
