Uncertainty surrounds the funding of flood defence schemes in Dumfries and Galloway, according to a council report.
Councillors will be told on Thursday that since projects at the Whitesands, Langholm and Newton Stewart received initial approval they have been subject to “significant change in terms of project scope, timescales and costings”.
The report states: “Current indications are there remains significant uncertainty regarding the detail of these schemes and that it is not possible at this stage to provide members with a firm indication of project timescales and costings as part of the current updating of the capital investment strategy.”
