The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that Dumfries and Galloway is to receive a share of a new £5.8 million fund designed to improve the region's visitor hotspots; notes that this new funding, from the Scottish Government’s Scottish Tourism Emergency Response Group, will be used to improve tourism infrastructure, such as car, coach and campervan accessible spaces, toilet provision, chemical waste disposal points, as well as electric vehicle charging points, bins and signage to promote responsible behaviour to people accessing Scotland’s countryside; welcomes this important funding which will be used across Dumfries and Galloway to help address some of the issues experienced by the region when the COVID-19 lockdown was eased in 2020, such as fly-, or dirty, camping, fly-tipping and littering, and encourages all accessing bonnie Dumfries and Galloway’s fantastic outdoor spaces to do so responsibly.
