We will be collating the findings from the final consultation to include a final series of pages in the Whithorn Place Plan. These will respond to a number of the comments received during the consultation, as well as indicating the rankings for the projects identified within it. These rankings will help to progress with applications for capital investment under the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal. We want to reiterate that those projects not high in the ranking are not being pushed aside, and this is just a process to ensure that short term decisions are as meaningful and prioritised as they can be. Any projects identified in the Place Plan that may not be suitable for capital support via Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal, may have an option for alternative funding (if available). When submitting the Whithorn Place Plan for acceptance, all comments received during the final consultation will be passed on for their consideration.

The Whithorn Place Plan will be made publicly available following approval by the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal. Announcements for this will be released in the near future.

The process of having the Whithorn Place Plan accepted as a Place Plan within the planning frameworks of Dumfries & Galloway Council will be progressed by the local authority directly with the community, and any updates will be communicated by them directly.

We want to thank the  community of Whithorn for your involvement in this project. The thoughts and feedback provided have been central to developing the work, and the support of local residents in sharing and promoting the project has been invaluable.
