On Monday 15th January 2018 an amazingly experienced group of people from diverse walks of life assembled at The Stove in Dumfries to get an update on Midsteeple Quarter and bring together their knowledge, advice and offers of help to further the aims of the project.

The project website is now live. We will be updating the site regularly with events, project updates, links and articles.

The Midsteeple Quarter is a major community-led project within Dumfries to take positive action to create a new, beating heart in centre of the town. The initiative re-imagines a strip of empty shop buildings on Dumfries High Street as a community-run mixed develop­ment of live-work/ education/ enterprise/ social spaces.

Are you a small or new business interested in affordable space on Dumfries High Street? As part of the Midsteeple Quarter project, UWS are carrying out a survey exploring the potential to establish a co-working and event or meeting space in the town centre.
