Supporting businesses and communities in the South of Scotland
We are visiting 24 villages and towns across the South of Scotland from November 2021 to March 2022 as part of our first ever engagement tour.
The sessions are open to everyone in the South to meet our Chair, Professor Russel Griggs OBE, and Chief Executive Jane Morrison-Ross to give their views on what they think the priorities should be for our local economy.
