Dumfries and Galloway Council today (Thursday 11 December) voted to proceed with the £68.6 million Whitesands Project in Dumfries, combining major flood defences with significant public realm improvements.
The Active Lives Pathway programme won the prestigious Campbell Christie Public Service reform award last week, at an event held at the Scottish Parliament.
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.
