invergowrie arab Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I wouldn't say I'm an expert but i would say that Dumfries is a relatively prosperous community but the town centre has been exposed to the centrifugal forces that have seen retail, business, educational, residential and other uses gravitate towards the town's urban fringe.[42] This was started in the 1980s with the building of the Dumfries bypass. The immediate effect of this was as intended the diversion of transiting traffic away from the town centre. This brought with it an accompanying reduction in economic input to the town centre. The second effect of this has been more pronounced. Sites close to the bypass have attracted development to utilise the bypass as a high speed urban highway without the bottlenecks of the town centre and without the constraining limited town centre parking. In a bid to re-stimulate development in Dumfries town centre, both economically and in a social context, several strategies have been proposed by the controlling authorities.[43] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A75 road eastbound links Dumfries to the southbound A74(M), leading to the M6 motorway and Carlisle. The A75 road west links Dumfries with the ferry port of Stranraer. The A76 road connects to Kilmarnock in Ayrshire. Dumfries railway station lies on the Glasgow South Western Line. It was awarded Best Station Awards by British Rail in 1986 and 1987. The train service is now operated by Abellio ScotRail which provides services to Glasgow Central and Carlisle, and less frequent services direct to Newcastle. The nearest station to Dumfries on the West Coast Main Line is 14 miles (23 km) east along the A709 road at Lockerbie, and the nearest West Coast Main Line station linking directly to Dumfries by rail is Carlisle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 The farmers who all vote Tory rarely venture into town, so you're all wide of the mark with those suggestions. Since I was young I always wanted to open a tobacconists. I dont think its realistic though, more of a pipe dream 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
