A community group is seeking permission to display banners on lamp posts in the region – but Dumfries and Galloway councillors have reservations.
Kirkconnel and Kelloholm Children’s Gala Committee members are keen to promote what’s going on in their villages by attaching banners and motifs to street lamps in the area.
However, some elected members are worried it could lead to unwanted political material appearing all over the area, and a “free-for-all” with posters and banners further down the line.
