Sports facilities upgrades

UPGRADES to the city’s sporting infrastructure could come into play at the start of the new school year if councillors back the move.

Members of Dundee City Council’s city development committee will be asked to approve an £89,000 contract for a new multi-use games area (MUGA) at Grove Academy and £218,000 for a new hardwood floor at Dundee International Sports Complex (DISC).

Steven Rome depute committee convener said: “Ensuring that our communities have opportunities to enjoy sport and leisure activities using the best possible facilities is key to reducing inequalities in health.

“By making investments like this in new amenities in our communities we will also help to deliver safer and stronger localities.”

If approved Doe Sports (North) will design, supply and install a new MUGA sports facility at Grove Academy, including drainage, fencing and equipment. Work is expected to be completed by the summer.

Meanwhile at DISC the works, using Dundee City Council’s construction services division as the proposed contractor, include the complete lifting and renewing of the existing hardwood sports floor in the game hall and new line markings, and if approved are scheduled to be completed by the end of the summer.

The city development committee meets on Monday (March 6).
