The sale of New Galloway Town Hall to a community group for just £1 was approved by Dumfries and Galloway Council last week.
Following a lengthy debate about the long-term future of the building, the councillors finally agreed to sell the historic building to Local Initiatives in New Galloway (LING).
The 19th century building is valued at £100,000 but “requires significant investment” to be brought up to scratch.
