A plan to spend tens of thousands of pounds on designing improvements to a Castle Douglas junction has been slammed by councillors.
The local authority is looking at upgrading cycle lanes and pedestrian access at the roundabout between Ernespie Road, Queen Street, Cotton Street and Oakwell Road.
But a potential price tag of £50,000 just to create design proposals, as well as a lack of any consultation to date, has been criticised by all three Castle Douglas councillors, Iain Howie, Pauline Drysdale and John Young.
