Whitesands flood scheme progress outlined
- Published
A public inquiry is to be held into the flood protection project on the Whitesands
Councillors are set to receive the latest information on plans for a £25m flood protection scheme in Dumfries which is heading to public inquiry.
The timescale for the hearing and decision on the Whitesands project could take up to two years.
A report added that the cost of the inquiry to the council was also "difficult" to estimate.
The hearing will decide whether to take the scheme forward, modify it or abandon it entirely.
The council administration has said it believes the project is the right one to protect the area and boost regeneration.
However, opponents have voiced concerns about the costs, the impact on riverside views and parking spaces.
