Plans to create more affordable homes, help prevent homelessness and bring empty properties back into use across Dumfries and Galloway are set to be considered by councillors next month.
Dumfries and Galloway Council has marked the start of construction on the Whitesands Flood Protection Project with a ground breaking ceremony at Greensands.
Councillors are to consider the findings of a detailed review of Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) across Dumfries and Galloway, looking at how the service can be adapted and potentially restructured to meet future needs.
