II UPGRADE OF INDUSTRIAL ESTATES - 207 STRATHMARTINE ROAD, DUNDEE

There was submitted Agenda Note AN26-2009 advising that as part of the ongoing maintenance programme for Council Industrial Units, it was proposed to apply an Elastomeric coating to the asbestos cement sheets to extend the life of the roof at the industrial premises at 207 Strathmartine Road, Dundee. Using this method would allow the tenant to continue trading while the work took place.

The Committee approved the foregoing.
