Dumfries & Galloway Council has announced that McLaughlin & Harvey has been appointed to carry out work on the proposed Whitesands Flood Protection Scheme in Dumfries.
The council confirmed the contract is valued at up to £38 million. Full approval for the project is still pending.

Further details, including final approval and timescales, will be confirmed in due course.
