What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to rule out additional grant funding for Dumfries and Galloway Council for their proposed flood prevention scheme on the Whitesands river frontage in Dumfries that will obscure our important river views forever and take away important safe car parking.
What the petitioner did first
I have written to Scotland's First Minister environment Minister.
Asked questions at the Ministers question time at Easterbrook hall in Dumfries after the recent Scottish Government cabinet meeting. The environment Minister Dr Aileen McLeod informed me at the meeting she would be looking into this proposed flood prevention scheme and may visit the town of Cockermouth to view their flood protection including the floating wall.
I had meetings and dialogue with council officials.
I have raised the issue in the media about this flooding project that started at 12 million pounds and now in just a few short weeks now 15 million. I have spoken with several councillors about this proposed flood prevention scheme.
