Dunragit Community Hub Update

We are continuing to move forward on realizing a long-held dream for the Dunragit community of a brand-new Hub with a grand opening planned for late summer.

An archaeology survey was undertaken by Guard Archaeology in March and the final report submitted to the Council archaeologist. No significant archaeology was found on site.

The electricity connection is approved and ready to go, but we are having some difficulties locating the mains water pipe that runs through the site, which is not where we thought.

The Building Warrant has been applied for and is under consideration. Once utilities and Building Warrant are confirmed, our design team will pull together all the information for us to tender the groundworks, so that this can be completed whilst the cabin is built offsite.

A community consultation was held in Glenluce Hall on 29 April for Dunragit residents to have their say on choosing the fixtures and fittings for their new Community Hub, which is due to officially open in late summer. We would like to thank Howdens kitchens and Kinnears for providing sample kitchen doors, worktops and flooring on the night. The cabin has now been ordered and the build is due to start in June, with delivery in late July or August.
