Dumfries Theatre Royal plans endangered

Dumfries and Galloway Council have rejected restoration plans for Scotland’s oldest working theatre, the Theatre Royal in Dumfries, putting in danger funds already raised to save the 18th century building.

In July 2004 the council promised GBP 2.5 million towards a 5.5 million scheme but that is now apparently being withdrawn.

Perhaps typically for Scottish local government, there is no information on the Dumfries and Galloway Council website.
