National Football Academy

I was delighted that the City Council put party divisions to one side tonight and supported plans to work towards bringing the National Football Academy to Dundee at the Policy and Resources Committee. The case for bringing this to Dundee is strong and it is important that the Scottish Government distributes facilities across the country.

My colleague Jenny Marra has led the way with her campaign to bring the National Football Academy, you can sign the petition here. It was great that politicians put party differences to one side and supported this petition which calls on the Scottish Government to bring the National Football Academy to Dundee. Like my Labour colleagues I am prepared to work with anyone to ensure that this facility comes to Dundee.

It is important that from time to time elected representatives in Dundee put the interests of city first and leave party labels behind and join together to put Dundee first.
