New Olympia Project Board

I was at a meeting of the New Olympia Project Board this afternoon. This board looks at progress which is being made in the building of the new swimming pool at East Whale lane. It is good to see progress being made on this important development for the city. I was pleased to receive a report which stated that local businesses are taking a full part in this project. I always want the City Council to use its economic power to promote jobs for people in Dundee. This power is constrained by a number of legal issues but we should be doing all we can to promote the local economy.

The picture shows what will become the pool hall before too long. It is good to see this project, which was a manifesto commitment for us at the last election taking shape.
