Eastriggs is to have its customer service centre and library reopened today after being shut-down at the start of the pandemic.
Annan South councillor Sean Marshall, who lives in the region’s “Commonwealth Town” said it is long overdue and that residents will be glad to have it back.
He said: “I have been continually pushing Dumfries and Galloway Council for this to reopen after it was closed during Covid and I am pleased to confirm it will re-open after the February school holidays, operating on a Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon.
“More details will be provided by the council before it reopens including a list of services it provides.”
The weekly opening times will be Tuesdays from 9am to 1pm and Thursdays from 1pm to 5pm.
Councillor Marshall said he has also been in touch with Post Offices Ltd about the building also potentially providing a postal service for the community too.
He said: “I have also requested that Post Office Limited consider providing an alternative to the current mobile van service from the same facility on days when the Customer Service Centre and Library is not open.
“This will provide better Wi-Fi connection, a more permanent location and a more reliable post office service in Eastriggs.”
