Dumfries and Galloway Council publishes a range of public information each year to keep local people informed about the services that are provided by the Council and the decisions that are made to change or improve them.

There are a range of key publications produced by Dumfries and Galloway Council itself, or in partnership with its Community Planning partners.

These provide information about what the Council and its partners have done and what they are planning to do.
