D&G Council Budget Drop-In Session

Like councils across Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway Council faces difficult financial choices in the years ahead.

Rising costs and growing demand for services mean every pound must stretch further, while funding isn’t keeping pace.

To help meet this challenge, councillors have agreed to consult early and openly on a range of potential savings and income-generation options before setting the 26/27 budget in late February 2026.

Your feedback will help councillors understand what matters most to people across Dumfries and Galloway and will inform the decisions they take when setting the budget.
