Echo Dumfries
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2022
My name is John Dowson and I have lived overlooking Dumfries High Street for over 40 years. I have seen many changes, good and bad.
During this time, I have run various businesses, been a councillor for 11 years (including leading the council for 4 years), been town centre manager for 2 years, and I have worked with many charities and community groups.
I believe Dumfries desperately needs investment, ideas, creativity and an end to the neglect and poor services from our public agencies.
It is important that your views are heard.
The more people that contribute, even short comments, then the stronger our ECHO DUMFRIES will become and the more will listen.
I will try to gather together all your opinions and to present, confront, and challenge, your elected councillors and their civil servants.
Together, we will demand the highest levels of competency, accountability, and integrity, from your local council, NHS, MSPs and MPs.

20th Century Architecture on Dumfries High Street
มุมมอง 722 ปีที่แล้ว
We often refer to Dumfries as a historic market town but one of the interesting things is that the vast majority of the buildings on our High Street are from the 20th Century. How will it appear in another century?
Burns Close, Dumfries
มุมมอง 102 ปีที่แล้ว
The volunteers from Dumfries Initiative (supported by the Council) have been carrying out a power of work at Burns Close to improve our public realm. If you’re interested in volunteering, let me know. Many hands make light work! Are there other corners of the town that you think could be regenerated in a similar way?
What would you do with Burns statue in Dumfries?
มุมมอง 272 ปีที่แล้ว
It’s a wonderful piece of marble sculpture and it would be a shame to see it erode to a pile of dust. One option would be to cast a replica for use outdoors and to make the current marble statue the centre piece of a Burns Museum on the High Street… Another option would be to create a protective canopy… I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions
WHERE WOULD YOU RELOCATE OUR FAIR ON THE WHITESANDS?
มุมมอง 9432 ปีที่แล้ว
This short video walks the length of our traditional fair on the Whitesands. The council's flood protection scheme will mean that the fair has to relocate.....somewhere.....but where? After 10 years of negotiation, the council have been unable to come up with an alternative location for the fair. Where would you relocate it? or would you just tell the council that their scheme is fundamentally ...

I see no need for a £40 million flood scheme. What do you think?
