Ongoing efforts to reduce art gallery budget
Efforts are ongoing to reduce a projected overspend on the delivery of an art gallery of “national significance” in southern Scotland.
The project in Kirkcudbright opened to the public this summer. However, a report to councillors said that it was on course to run nearly £250,000 over its original budget of more than £3 million.
Dumfries and Galloway Council officers are continuing their efforts to cut the overspend.
The new facility completed a vision for the town which first surfaced nearly 20 years ago.
