Dundee City Council has announced plans to invest around £400 million  across  the city  in an ambitious five-year building programme.

Details of projects to be undertaken between 2017 and 2022 will be outlined to the policy and resources committee on Monday.

The £387 million programme takes in play areas, schools, the V&A and a replacement of Craigie House.

Depute policy and resources convener Councillor Willie Sawers said: “The council, its partners in the city and the Scottish government have been working extremely hard together to put improvements in place for the people of this city.

“This annual review of the current council plan identifies a number of successes and highlights why we have extremely good grounds for optimism.

“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.”

Meanwhile, according to an analysis of the delivery of key targets under the current council plan, there are said to be more jobs in the city and that increasing numbers of pupils going on to positive destinations after leaving school.
