News on Spaces for People Dumfries and Galloway

The Spaces for People consultation in Dumfries and Galloway has now been open for a month, and we’d like to hear from more young people! Only 5% of respondents so far have been in the 16-24 category, so please share if you can. We’d also like to hear from more people over 75, and those with mobility issues, visual/hearing impairments and chronic conditions.
