Anyone with an interest in the future of the South of Scotland is being reminded to take part in an important consultation open until Friday 5 March.
The Regional Economic Strategy (RES) sees public, private and third sector groups in the South of Scotland join forces. It proposes to look beyond the current Coronavirus pandemic, with the aim of growing and developing a stronger, fairer and more sustainable economy for the South of Scotland.
The strategy is a key focus of the South of Scotland’s Regional Economic Partnership (REP) which brings together a diverse range of interests, knowledge, experience and resources all valuable to the development of the RES for the South.

Depute Leader of Dumfries and Galloway Council, Councillor Rob Davidson, is the current Chair of the REP and said: “Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Regional Economic Strategy so far.
