Dundee council refuses to say if Olympia builders will pay compensation

Dundee City Council legal advisors are refusing to say whether they can extract any compensation from the builders behind Dundee's crumbling Olympia leisure complex.

The complex was first opened to the public in June 2013 after it was constructed by building firm Mansell, owned by Balfour Beatty. A recess sub-committee on Wednesday green-lit more than £6.1 million of public funds to spend on essential repairs at the centre, located in the heart of the city.

Dundee Live has previously revealed that the original £4.5m cost of repairs has cancelled out any savings the local authority made by choosing the cheapest possible building contract.
