Regional transport partnership SWestrans has confirmed that from 5 January 2026, Annandale Community Transport Services (ACTS) will continue operation of the 80 Annan town service, to maintain local connectivity following the withdrawal of the service currently operated by Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire.
Construction is now underway on nine multi-modal transport hubs in Dumfries and Galloway, which will bring new active and sustainable transport options to communities across the region.
Community groups, charities, social enterprises and public sector bodies are invited to submit Expressions of Interest for the 2026–2027 People and Place Fund, supporting projects that encourage active and sustainable travel for everyday journeys.
Dumfries and Galloway Council is emphasising the vital work carried out by its Roads Service as winter weather brings added challenges to maintaining the region’s extensive road network.
