Regeneration in Dumfries

Exciting progress is underway for Dumfries as the Town Board moves into the delivery phase of its long-term regeneration programme. Following endorsement from the UK Government, the Dumfries Pride in Place Plan sets out a shared vision for the future of our town - shaped by the voices of local people, community groups, businesses, and partners. It reflects what matters most to Dumfries and lays the foundations for positive change over the next 10 years.

We are now starting to turn that vision into reality. The first projects have been identified through a careful selection process, with more details to be shared soon as work gets underway. This is just the beginning, and community involvement remains at the heart of everything we do. We will be hosting a series of informal drop-in sessions in May 2026 where you can find out more, ask questions, and see how plans are taking shape. Everyone is welcome, and we would love to hear your thoughts. Our goal is simple: to create a Dumfries that works for everyone - supporting local people, strengthening communities, and building a vibrant future for generations to come.
