Welcome to Council News, your fortnightly update from our council.
Our team is always keen to give you updates on the things that matter the most to you.
We also want share positive stories about things that are happening in your community.
If you have news that you'd like to share – shining a light on an individual, community group or event – we would love to feature them in our Community bulletin.
Please email us at communitybulletin@dumgal.gov.uk with feedback or story ideas and one of our reporters will get back to you.
Respect our Colleagues
Every day, council colleagues work hard to deliver the services our region's communities rely on. In return, they deserve to be treated with kindness and respect in every interaction.
That’s why we’re reinforcing our commitment to a safe and respectful workplace with the launch of our Respect Our Colleagues – Building Respect Together campaign.
You’ll start seeing new posters in council buildings and public spaces, reminding everyone that respect matters. We’re also sharing this message online – because respect should extend to digital spaces, too.
By treating each other with patience and understanding, we can build an even more positive and respectful environment for everyone. Thank you for playing your part.
Troqueer Road Junction Improvements
Major road works at the junction of Pleasance Avenue, St Michael’s Bridge Road and Troqueer Road will start on Monday 24 March and last for 8 weeks.
Works will see improvements made to the junction including controlled crossing points, tactile paving and dropped kerbs, giving pedestrians a safe method of crossing. There are also additional cycling facilities to help cyclists position themselves in advance of vehicles.
Temporary traffic signals will be in operation during the works. As a result, for this 8-week period, vehicles will be unable to access Troqueer Road North (towards Church Street). Vehicles will be diverted via Robison Drive and Rotchell Road. In addition, areas of parking will be suspended on Troqueer Road North, Troqueer Road South, Pleasance Avenue and St. Michael’s Bridge Road.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. However, we have made every effort to minimise the disruption and encourage those travelling in this area to plan ahead.
