Gatehouse residents get chance to draw up town’s Local Place Plan

Gatehouse residents are to get another opportunity to help draw up the town’s local place plan.

Drop-in sessions will be held in the Mill on the Fleet on Wednesday, October 9 from 6pm to 8pm, and on Friday October, 11 from 2pm to 4pm.

The steering group developing the blueprint hopes everyone in the community will find time to come along and contribute their ideas.

Group convenor Susan Miller said: “The plan is about what you want from your town over the coming years. Come along and tell us what’s important to you.”

Gatehouse Community Council convenor Mark Laird added: “Please let us know what you want for Gatehouse.”

The drop-ins follow a successful session on the Gatehouse Local Place Plan last weekend.

People shared their ideas on a range of issues including transport, housing, the environment, the economy and services.

All who attended had the opportunity to have their say on what works well and what needs improvement and to complete a short survey.

The finalised Gatehouse Local Place Plan will be used by Dumfries and Galloway Council as it prepares its next local development plan.
