Monday evening saw the latest set of meetings of the City Council and its committees. At the Leisure, Arts and Communities committee I welcomed the proposals to redevelop the McTaggart Centre as a regional gymnastics centre. Dundee has a strong track record for gymnastics and hopefully this facility will allow local gymnasts to develop their full potential. It is also important to ensure that Dundee's previous Commonwealth Games legacy in the name of Dick McTaggart is remembered.
At the Policy and Resources Committee there were a number of interesting reports. I welcome the unanimous support for the Scottish Veterans' Charter. I recognise the important role that our armed forces and veterans play in our country. I am looking forward to this policy having a real impact on how the council operates.
I welcome the unanimous adoption of the Scottish Veterans' Charter. It was important that the council recognised the contribution of those who serve or have served the United Kingdom so well over the years. I hope that the charter will have a real impact on the way that the council delivers services. It is important that those who have served us so well as treated with respect.
The Principles of the Charter are:
'This Charter recognises that the men and women of the Scottish Veterans Community have served our nation and our nation's interests through dedicated service. They may have been called on to serve in circumstances that has led to physical and mental damage. As such this Charter establishes the principles upon which public bodies in Scotland should recognise the unique characteristics of service in delivering public services and which affords all members of the Veterans Community, and their family the dignity, respect and level of service that corresponds to their needs.
