At its meeting on Thursday 19 March, Dumfries and Galloway Council’s Enabling and Customer Services Committee approved a package of measures to support taxi services across the region and improve the availability of wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs).

Councillors have agreed three key strategies designed to strengthen how services are delivered across Dumfries and Galloway, focussing on improving the customer experience, expanding digital services and supporting the council’s workforce.

A report setting out how Dumfries and Galloway Council plans to invest in the region’s buildings, roads, schools, public spaces and key infrastructure over the next three years will be considered by councillors at the Economy and Infrastructure Committee on 24 March.

Elected members will receive a detailed update on Dumfries and Galloway’s ongoing roll out of 20mph speed limits when the Economy and Infrastructure Committee meets on 24 March.

Strategy safeguards public funds with prudent borrowing limits and regular monitoring to ensure transparency.
