The new build development in the Coldside area of the city will replace Our Lady’s RC and Rosebank primary schools and the Frances Wright Pre-school Centre with modern custom designed facilities.

As well as the schools there will be four additional flexible classrooms, nursery facilities and a dedicated area for community use.

Dundee City Council’s city development committee has been asked to approve the project.

Bill Campbell, depute committee convener, said: “With work completed and well underway on similar projects in other neighbourhoods across the city it is good to see progress being made on the Coldside scheme.

“This will bring two new single stream primary schools designed over two storeys, a separate nursery area and a dedicated facility for community use to Coldside that will provide services for people who will live in the adjacent new houses being built in this part of the city.”

New social housing is currently being built on another part of the site, which was formerly home to the Alexander Street multis.

The city development committee meets on December 12.
