Work starts today (Monday May 13) on £300,000 worth of parking improvements at the popular play area and wildlife centre at Camperdown Country Park.
This investment will see the replacement of the old style parking bays with block paving and the construction of 58 additional parking spaces.
In addition, the grass will be reinforced to allow for 68 spaces on the overspill area.
Work will be carried out in two phases and will be completed by early August. Car parking will be available during this time.
Neighbourhood Services Convener Councillor Kevin Cordell said: “The additional spaces are a welcome addition to facilities at Camperdown.
“Across the city our attractions are seeing increased visitor numbers and Camperdown Park is certainly no exception to that, with the new and improved play zone, Camperdown Wildlife Centre and of course the Flower and Food Festival, the park is continuing to bring in the crowds.
“This latest round of work in the park highlights our commitment to supporting and enhancing the key areas of the city.
“The park’s role as a local attraction, is of course, vitally important and it’s key that we continue to enhance the facilities to meet increased visitor numbers to 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%.
