More than 200 homes are to be fitted with external wall insulation in a £1.7m programme.

This latest stage is part of a £40m council budget to ensure homes are easier to heat and more energy efficient.

Homes in Harefield Road, Ann Street, Hilltown, Watson St Atholl, Moncur Crescent, Strathmore Avenue and Beechwood will benefit from this latest round.

Councillor Anne Rendall said: "The benefits of signing up for external wall insulation are so obvious and at no cost to the tenant, it's a real no-brainer.

"In Dundee we are committed to combating fuel poverty and this latest round of investment will see move a step closer to eradicating it.

"It is my firm commitment that the council will continue to do all it can to make sure that the people of Dundee have energy efficient homes they can afford to heat."
