Council welcomes funding announcement for Stranraer
Wednesday, 04 December 2024 18:35

Dumfries and Galloway Council welcomes the announcement in today’s Scottish Government Budget (4th December) of capital funding for regeneration projects in Stranraer.

This investment comes following the development of the Stranraer Place Plan in 2023 and further work this year to develop a series of projects in the town. This has unlocked a long-standing commitment from the Scottish Government to support Stranraer, following the relocation of the Irish Sea passenger ferry services to Cairnryan in 2011.

This funding will complement further funding through the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal, that has supported the development of the plans.

Leader of Dumfries and Galloway Council, Cllr Gail MacGregor said: “I’d like to congratulate the Stranraer Town Team and all of the partners involved in developing proposals for the town. They have responded to the needs and priorities of the community and have led the conversation about the future of their town. I look forward to seeing the results of their hard work.”
