6 1 Introduction Geographic location of Dundee Map 1: Dundee City Within Scotland Background Dundee is Scotland s fourth largest city and is situated on the north coast of the mouth of the Tay Estuary, in a stunning geographical position. Edinburgh lies 60 miles to the south, and Aberdeen 67 miles to the north. The most recent estimate of Dundee s population is 142,170 (General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) 2006 Mid-year Population Estimate). Dundee has a sizeable student population, and is home to the University of Dundee, the University of Abertay Dundee and Dundee College. The Dundee City Council area covers 6,300 hectares (24 square miles), and is geographically the smallest local authority area in Scotland. It is bordered by Perth and Kinross Council to the west, and by Angus Council to the north and east. The former Tayside Regional Council area previously covered all three councils, and Dundee continues to serve as the regional centre for this area and north-east Fife, with an estimated catchment population of some 400,000 people. Dundee is officially Scotland's sunniest city, with an average of 1400 hours of sunshine each year! Easy access is available in Dundee to the main road and rail networks. The A90 Edinburgh to Aberdeen Road passes through the City, and the Tay Road Bridge connects to the north-east Fife. Regular First ScotRail services between Glasgow and Aberdeen, and Edinburgh and Aberdeen, stop at Dundee, as do GNER services between London Kings Cross and Aberdeen. Virgin also provides daily cross-country train services between Dundee and Carlisle, via Edinburgh. Scottish City Link and Stagecoach operate bus services between Dundee and Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Fife and other destinations. Dundee Airport, located in the heart of Scotland, is the most convenient fly-in destination for some 1,000 square miles of Central Scotland. Situated only two miles from Dundee City Centre, and less than 10 minutes by taxi from mainline rail and bus stations, it affords quick and easy access to Fife via the nearby Tay Road Bridge, and lies within five minutes of the main Scottish Trunk Road network. There are five scheduled daily weekday return flights between Dundee and London City Airport, plus weekend services, and there will shortly be an expansion to services with flights to Belfast and Birmingham initially. Did you know? Dundee is the only Scottish city to be featured in the Here and Now UK edition of the board game Monopoly. The place was won by an online poll by games giants Parker. The square features a picture of Claypotts Castle and has a price tag of 2.2m. Dundee has been named as one of only 7 cities across the world short-listed by an influential US think-tank for the title of intelligent community of the year The New York based Intelligent Community Forum proclaimed each of the 7 as a "model for economic development in the 21st century". 1 of 40

The asking price data source is taken from The Tayside Solicitors Property guide with additional information recorded including postal address, number of bedrooms, and type of sale (offers over/fixed price) Number of Properties Available for Analysis The data source provided 1028 properties with a good mix of property types for sale in both the May 2006 and May 2007 TSPC guides. Detached properties at 33% (160 properties) in May 2006 and 25% (143 properties) in May 2007 had the greatest share of the properties for sale. Terraced properties increased from 8.8% (43 properties) in May 2006 to 14.5% (81 properties) in May Average Asking Price - Postcode Districts Analysis was completed at postcode district level. DD2 had the greatest number of properties for sale in May 2006 (112) and May 2007 (114) followed closely by DD4, DD5 and DD3. Postcode districts DD6, DD7, PH14 and PH2 have a much smaller number of properties ranging from 1 property to 33 due to their rural nature and the fact that the area under consideration only covers part of these districts. The majority of properties for sale are inside the Council area covered by postcode districts DD1 to DD5. In terms of average asking price the most expensive district in both May 2006 ( 173,644) and May 2007 ( 185,424) was DD5. The least expensive in May 2006 was DD3 ( 112,284) and in 2007 it was DD4 ( 105,333). Average Asking Price - Property Types Comparing the average asking price change from May 2006 to May 2007, the price for Detached properties increased by 24,951 (13.6%), from 205,237 to 230,188, and Tenement Blocks increased by 20,071 (28.7%), from 69,913 to 89, of 40

15 Historic About Dundee 2008 Map 2: Dundee City Central Waterfront 1938 By the end of the 19th Century, the first signs of industrial decline were apparent and the docks were no longer being so heavily used. In 1911 the City Architect (James Thompson) prepared designs for a massive new Civic Centre on the site of the Central Waterfront, but the commencement of the World Wars meant that these ambitious proposals were never implemented. Map 3: Dundee City Waterfront 1998 Present In the 20th Century, the most significant factor which determined Dundee s relationship with its Waterfront was the siting of the northern landfall of the Tay Road Bridge. Although the engineer, Ove Arup, actually preferred a site further east at Stannergate in order that the bridge could join directly into the Kingsway, the city chose to land the bridge right into the heart of the city centre. As a result, the historic central dock complex was in-filled in the 1960s to accommodate the necessary ramps and road system. The Olympia Leisure Centre and Tayside House were then built in the 1970s as the only completed elements of an intended multi-level, modernist, civic and commercial centre. The resultant effect was the loss of the harbour and the severance of the waterfront from the city. Future Our vision for Dundee s Central Waterfront is crucial to the achievement of the city s broader strategic aims. Not only will the project remove one of the last remaining major blights on the city's image and townscape, it will create a high-quality, mixed-use, riverside urban-quarter right in the heart of the city which will come to signify the extent of Dundee's renaissance as a post-industrial city. The central waterfront project will therefore make a major contribution to retaining and enhancing Dundee's role as one of Scotland's dynamic cities, thereby ensuring its continued contribution to the longterm growth of the regional and national economy.

18 6.4 Key Sectors The following information is provided by Locate Dundee, an initiative of the Economic Development Department of Dundee City council. Biotechnical Dundee is home to one of the most exciting life sciences clusters in the UK, with world-class companies, universities, research institutions and scientists all within a 3 mile radius. Over 4,000 people now work in Dundee's life sciences sector - this accounts for 16% of the local economy and is forecast to grow at 10% per annum over the next 3 years. Companies in Dundee offer a wide range of expertise including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, contract research organisations, ag-bio and environmental biotechnology. Both of Dundee's Universities undertake world-class research activities and collaborations, with all the relevant departments at the University of Dundee being rated either 5 or 5*, and the University of Abertay being ranked as the best in Scotland for its environmental research. BioDundee partners can provide a wide range of business and research opportunities, from licensing and investment, through to joint ventures and collaborations. Civil Service A Civil Service Campaign (Dundee) strategy was developed in line with the Scottish Executive's vision of an accessible, open and responsive government and the resulting policy move towards a more equitable distribution of civil service employment in Scotland. This focused on new opportunities to submit re-location proposals for a number of public bodies. Currently Dundee's share of civil service employment lags considerably behind other Scottish cities and towns, with only 1.1% of civil service jobs in the Scottish Executive's administration based in Dundee. Only 0.1% of the City's population is employed in the civil service sector compared to Edinburgh with 1.9% and Glasgow with 0.4%. This does not include information on civil service posts within the government departments (e.g. HM Revenue & Customs) located in Scotland's cities which is not held by the Scottish Executive. Contact Centres Dundee has built a successful contact centre industry with a number of blue-chip companies and government agencies located here. Managers testify to their satisfaction with the quality of the workforce, ease of recruitment and low operating costs. The industry locally employs over 7,500 staff drawing from a large regional catchment and graduate output from two key Scottish universities within the city. Digital Media A major success story has been the growth of computer games development in Dundee, which can justifiably claim to be Scotland's foremost computer games location - home to a significant number of companies including Real Time Worlds and Denki. The universities and colleges in the city contribute enormously to the depth of skills for the new media sector, with both universities producing world-class research and teaching in applied computing and software development, and interacting closely with local companies Dundee is the first City in the world to develop a unique International Centre for Computer Games and Virtual Entertainment based at the University of Abertay Dundee. 13 of 40

19 Financial Services About Dundee 2008 A significant number of companies within the financial services are based in the city employing in total 4,000 people within Tayside, the majority of which are based in Dundee. Companies already based here including Alliance Trust and BNP Paribas state the adaptable and intellectual workforce from the Universities along with low property costs and its proximity to Edinburgh International Airport and London City Airport (via Dundee) are key components to their presence in Dundee.

Manufacturing remains a key sector within the city. Dundee has a unique mix of the vital ingredients for a successful operation: - A productive, skilled and flexible workforce with low staff turnover at 5% - Cost effective property costs - significantly lower than Scottish UK averages Two universities with strong company linkages producing over 750 graduates per year in engineering, science and computing subjects. Retail Dundee is a flourishing regional shopping centre for an extensive rural hinterland, with a large and wealthy catchment area. The nature of the population distribution and ease of access and parking within the city centre means that Dundee benefits from a large inflow of consumers, primarily from the wider Scottish area. With an ever-expanding quality shopping sector, Dundee is now enjoying the fruits of more than a decade's worth of partnership planning between private, academic and public organisations, and development still continues apace. The retail centre is well defined over a broad pedestrianised area and encompasses a number of streets and three main shopping centres. However, the core area is primarily concentrated within the Overgate, the Wellgate Shopping Centre and the surrounding pedestrianised area of Murraygate / High Street. The Overgate centre is Europe's only single-sided shopping mall, set beside a spectacular curved glass wall, with well-appointed balcony cafés.

32 10 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 10.1 About the Index The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2006 was released by the Scottish Executive in October It is a well constructed deprivation index with a range of indicators making up each of the seven constituent domains, which are: current income employment health education, skills and training geographic access, telecommunication and housing. crime The Data Zone is the geographical level of analysis that SIMD data will be made available at in the future. Data Zones are small geographical areas which have complete coverage of Scotland. They can potentially be used to build a best fit to larger areas of interest so that, for example, the impact of regeneration initiatives, or Community Planning Partnership funded project intervention, can be monitored. There are 6,505 data Zones in Scotland, 179 of which are situated in Dundee. Each Data Zone in Scotland has a population range of between 224 and 4,024, and the median population is 768. Each Data Zones was allocated a domain score indicating the degree of deprivation at domain level. The domains were each assigned a different weighting which was also reflected in the overall SIMD score. The domain scores for each Data Zone were then amalgamated to form an overall SIMD score. A rank of between 1 and 6,505 was then assigned to each Data Zone, based on the SIMD score, with 1 being the most deprived Data Zone in Scotland and 6,505 being the least deprived. The ranking process, based on the individual domain scores for each Data Zone, was also completed for each of the six domains. Initially, only a limited amount of data from the SIMD has been made available at the Data Zone level of geography. This includes the overall SIMD score; the individual scores for each domain; and the corresponding rankings. It is planned in the future (date yet to be announced) to release the individual indicators which make up each of the domains. However this raises some issues. The domains are not, on their own, an index of deprivation. So no conclusions about deprivation can, or should, be drawn at this level. It is only when combined with all the other indicators in a domain that a measure of deprivation, allowing comparison across different areas, can be made. For further information please read the summary technical report by the Scottish Executive at the following web site address: A summary of some of the main points to note about the 2006 SIMD is given in the next few pages, illustrating Dundee s situation in the Scottish national context Government funding has been allocated to the 'Fairer Scotland Fund' which has replaced the previous funding of the Community Regeneration Fund. The allocation was based on the most deprived 15% of Zones in Scotland, so the amount of money allocated would be based on the number of these Data Zones in a partnership (local authority) area. Out of the 6,505 Data Zones in Scotland, and of the 976 (most deprived 15%); 53 of these are in the Dundee City Council area. Over a quarter (28.4%) of Dundee s population live in these Data Zones. Map 11 shows where the areas classified as more deprived are located within Dundee in context of the current SIMD index. Chart 28 shows an inter-authority comparison of the percentage of the population in each local authority area resident in the 15% most deprived Data Zones across Scotland. 27 of 40

Before 2002 water quality at Broughty Ferry was often poor. Excellent quality was achieved between 2002 and 2006 but only good quality in This apparent slight drop in bathing water quality was probably as a result of the higher than average summer rainfall though the Tay public finance initiative (PFI) scheme is not designed to deliver excellent quality at Broughty Ferry. Increased rainfall can lead to greater runoff from urban and arable land, and also increases the likelihood of sewage system overflows. Coinciding with the excellent ratings from 2002 is the fact that the Hatton Sewage Treatment works opened in 2001, located halfway between Carnoustie and Arbroath. All normal sewage flows from the Dundee area have been pumped to Hatton Sewage Treatment Works (STW) for full treatment. As part of the same project, six crude sewage discharges in the Broughty Ferry area were intercepted and taken to a new pumping station at Broughty Castle from where flows are passed forward to Hatton STW. Storm storage was provided at the pumping station and a new outfall installed to allow the discharge of screened storm sewage. At the start of the 2007 season Broughty Ferry held a Blue Flag quality award, which recognised both the quality of the bathing water and the facilities provided by the local authority. However, it will lose this status because only EU mandatory standards were achieved during Table 43: Broughty Ferry Beach SEPA Ratings Ratings Excellent Good Poor Source: SEPA, Bathing Waters 2007 Broughty Ferry Community Council formed a beach sub-group and adopted Broughty Ferry Beach. Dundee City Council supports the community council in their drive for sustainable beach management and recognises that Adopt-a-Beach is a great initiative by the Marine Conservation Society for getting people involved in looking after and taking a greater interest in the cleanliness of the local beach. The Marine Conservation Society's Beachwatch 2007 Survey found that Broughty Ferry beach is five times cleaner than the Scottish average in terms of items of litter. 36 of 40
