Dundee City Council has launched a probe into the controversial closure of the city’s Olympia Swimming Pool.
The special session of the scrutiny committee will meet next month to discuss issues at the state-of-the-art facility.
Councillors will fully review the circumstances behind issues at Olympia and with its domestic roof replacement elsewhere in the city.
They will discuss what led up to £4.5m of work needing done to the Olympia leisure facility and more than £4m of corrective actions to roofs across the city.
Officers are reviewing all documentation related to two reports called for by the committee.
Kevin Keenan, convener of the scrutiny committee said: “Many of the documents under consideration are highly technical, detailed and complex and in order to ensure the best possible analysis by committee members and the wider council it has been agreed to hold a special, additional meeting.
“We need to be in a position to fully review the circumstances leading up to the corrective actions that are needed.”
Fraser Macpherson, one the committee’s vice conveners added: “It is important, given the huge amount of documentation and complexity of the detail of these issues, that a special meeting of the scrutiny committee is added to the council committee calendar.
“This will allow for these important matters to be discussed at length and not as part of a general meeting that would have been called on to discuss numerous other issues as well.
While Derek Scott, the committee’s other vice convener, said: “The roofs and Olympia issues are of vital importance and councillors must be given all relevant documentation and the time to fully discuss and question officers at a special meeting.”
