Council accused of treating public with contempt after V&A viewing platform requests snubbed

Dundee City Council has been accused of treating taxpayers with contempt after they snubbed requests from residents to get a closer look at the construction of the V&A.

Councillor Richard McCready said the response was a let-down for the people of Dundee who “should be able to see how their money is being spent”.
