Over £250,000 could be spent on environmental improvements in the Hilltown area of Dundee.
Dundee City Council’s neighbourhood services committee will hear on Monday (March 11) of plans put in place new surfacing and playpark equipment, along with benches and trees, in the area between Tulloch Court and Bonnethill Court.
Councillor Anne Rendall, depute committee convener, explained: “These plans will improve this area and make it a much more attractive place for families to play and for residents to spend time outside.
“We are committed to making communities in our city better places to live and I am pleased to see this investment coming forward.”
Meanwhile, the committee will also consider spending of just over £240,000 on boiler replacements in 58 houses at Glenclova Terrace, Glenmarkie Terrace, Glenmoy Avenue, Glenogil Terrace and Glenprosen Terrace.
Councillor Rendall added: “This is part of an ongoing programme which shows that we are doing all we can to make sure that tenants have energy efficient homes they can afford to heat.
“We are working hard to act against fuel poverty across the city.”
Dundee City Council
Dundee draws skilled workers from a 60-minute catchment population of 640,000 and has a local population of over 140,000. The availability of a large pool of highly skilled labour is a key feature in the Dundee economy. Flexibility in the labour force is currently more prevalent in Dundee than in Scotland as a whole. All forms of labour market flexibility - part-time, temporary employment, self-employment and shift work - are widely operational within the city. Labour force stability in the city is excellent, enabling companies to plan with confidence. Labour turnover levels are less than 5% and absenteeism averages 2%.
