Local Place Plan

The Local Place Plan provides an opportunity for everybody in our community to influence every aspect of the development of this area. More information details can be found under the Local Place Plan menu or follow this shortcut. A series of meetings have taken place and you can read the minutes of these under the Local Place Plan tab.

Potholes

If you are concerned about potholes you encounter on local roads it is very easy to report them. Just ring Dumfries & Galloway Council on 030 33 33 3000. You simply need to provide the location of the pothole. If you prefer you can go to the specific council website page where you can enter the details. The Council will email you with the progress.
