A building programme worth almost £350m over the next five years is to be revealed by Dundee City Council.

The council's capital plan will include projects such as the waterfront and V&A Dundee, schools, an additional young persons' house, affordable housing and the Regional Performance Centre for Sport.

Councillor John Alexander said the local authority's investment in construction projects across Dundee provides jobs and stimulates the economy.

He said: "We are creating the foundations of a better future for the city that ranges from attracting visitors to the V&A Dundee to ensuring that our children are learning in school facilities that are suitable for the challenges of the 21st century.

"The council is taking forward its vision for Dundee by strengthening the fabric of the city and providing new opportunities for people.

"I am keen that our communities feel the benefit of this massive investment in as many ways as possible."

The capital plan covering 2018 to 2023 will be discussed by Dundee City Council's policy and resources committee on October 30.
