Where is Dundee's City Deal? It is not good
enough that Dundee is left behind. Our city needs investment. We
should be trying maximise the opportunities for our city. Millions of
pounds of investment is heading to other city regions in Scotland and
Dundee is left out. We need investment to bring jobs to our city. I
will always make jobs and prosperity my priority. Dundee City
Council has a duty to deliver for the people of Dundee. We have
heard a lot of talk about jobs and investment but now is the time for
results. We need to hear about real money being invested in our city.
I want to
know why the Scotland Office are able to say that no formal approaches
have been made about a city deal for Dundee. Possible investment is
on the table and we need to make that a reality for the people of
Dundee. My colleague Councillor Kevin Keenan first raised this
issue in 2013, it is unacceptable that other areas in Scotland and across
the UK are benefiting from this investment whilst Dundee appears to be
uninterested in securing this funding.
The people
of Dundee need to see action to deliver investment for our city. I
want answers. I still want to know where is our City Deal?
