Dundee councillors have called for the local authority to secure the site of a major fire that ravaged a derelict city jute mill earlier this week.
The crumbling two-storey Queen Victoria Works date back to the 1820s and ceased production of jute used for carpet manufacturing in 1990. The Brook Street site has been left to deteriorate in the years since and on Monday was struck by a major blaze which took firefighters all night to bring under control.
Police are appealing for information following the fire. However, there are now serious concerns the buildings could deteriorate even further if the owner, based in the United Arab Emirates, does not take action.
