A long-running dispute between Dumfries and Galloway council staff and local authority bosses is over after three major unions accepted a pay deal.
Both Unison and Unite announced their members voted to accept the Scottish Government and Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) latest offer.
The new deal will deliver a flat rate increase of more than £1,900 for all workers earning less than £39,000 a year – based on a 36-hour working week– backdated to April 1 this year.
