Dumfries & Galloway Council has announced it is pressing ahead with its Kirkcudbright Charter.

A council committee agreed to approve the Business Plan for the Charter, along with recommending to the Policy and Resources Committee that the Council’s capital budget helps fund the project.

The proposals involve increasing future use of community buildings, including a gallery within the current Town Hall building.

The redeveloped building will host a cafe, open space area for the community and a mezzanine floor to increase exhibition capacity.

Councillor Tom McAughtrie said: "I welcome the decision of members at the CCS Committee to push forward with plans to progress the Kirkcudbright Charter."
