Dundee residents are invited to participate in a public consultation on the proposed relocation of community services in the East End of Dundee. The proposal suggests moving all services from the following four facilities to a new, centralized Community Campus:
- The Hub Library & Community Facilities
- Whitfield Library
- Douglas Community Centre & Library
- Douglas Sports Centre
The consultation, which runs until 15 December 2024, allows local people to voice their opinions and concerns about the relocation plan. Dundee City Council aims to assess any potential impacts on service users, especially those with protected characteristics, and understand how the move may affect access to these services.
How to Participate
You can submit your feedback in two ways:
In-Person: Hard copies of the consultation are available at the Douglas Community Centre reception, where completed forms can also be returned.
This consultation is focused on understanding the potential impact of the relocation on individuals, so participants are encouraged to highlight any personal concerns about accessibility, convenience, or any other relevant issues.
