Good morning, there are still several cars parked on Newall Terrace, Dumfries. If your car is parked in this area we would be grateful if the car could be moved ASAP to assist those partaking in the Guid Nychburris Association festivities. Thank you.

Good luck to all those taking part in Tough Mudder this weekend.
