With the survey now closed, and an amazing 449 responses in, it's time to analyse the results and find out exactly what you'd like to see happening in the region. Your support has been fantastic and will directly shape the delivery of future projects, so a huge thanks to everyone who participated.
Once the results have been analysed, combined with the growing list of names on our petition and the generosity shown through donations to the charity's JustGiving Campaign, a report will be published to support project development, create a development plan and to demonstrate to funders the overwhelming support we've received from the local community.
Huge congratulation to our colleagues and friends at the wonderful The Vault Arts Centre in Newton Stewart for reaching the finals, yet again, of the Scottish Entertainment & Hospitality Awards in the Best Events Venue category.
