East End Community Campus

The Proposal 

Dundee City Council is currently building a new Community Campus to serve the East End of the city which will open in August 2025. 

As part of this flagship project, Dundee City Council, in partnership with Leisure and Culture Dundee, is consulting on the proposed relocation of both Council and Leisure & Culture Dundee run services from the following facilities: 
1.    The Hub Library & Community Facilities 
2.    Whitfield Library (The Crescent) 
3.    Douglas Community Centre & Library 
4.    Douglas Sports Centre 
It is envisaged that a wide range of services could be relocated from existing buildings in Whitfield, Douglas and Mid Craigie, combining community sports and activities, advice services, digital inclusion, adult learning, and community development as well as health-related services to integrate care for children and families. 

The Consultation 

The purpose of this six-week consultation is to identify any impacts the relocation of services from these facilities would have on the local community, consider any measures that can be taken to address these, and explore the future of the existing community buildings. 
 
Before any final decisions are taken, it is essential that we understand what implementing these proposals would mean for users and the wider community.  This is particularly the case for those who have characteristics protected by law: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.  
 
This is a legal requirement for the consultation, so part of the survey asks a series of specific questions to identify if respondents have any of these protected characteristics. However, please note that each of the questions is optional. 
 
Users of the four existing facilities in the area are encouraged to take part, but it is important to stress that all interested parties are invited to have their say on the proposal. 
No decisions have yet been taken on what would happen to the existing facilities 

The consultation will also explore options for the future of the properties. These could include: 
·       Using them for other purposes; 
·       Transferring them to community organisations; 
·       Selling the buildings; 
·       Closing the buildings
