Fed-up residents are calling for easier access to council waste recycling centres across the region without having to book a slot online.
Dumfriesshire MP David Mundell, MSP Oliver Mundell and Annandale North councillor Lynne Davis have taken up the cause on behalf of their constituents.
They point out that whilst the current online booking system, established to limit contacts during the Covid pandemic worked well, they have been made aware of a growing demand for a return to the previous more relaxed drop-in arrangements.
