Lots of activity at King George V which now is a big building site - anyone know wgat is going on ?
Parkhead football pitches in Greenbrae Loaning will be the next bit of land that the council will sell off for houses - recently a footpath was constructed behind Aldi, continuing behind the goal area of the bottom pitch and joining up with the road at Parkhead housing scheme that leads to Lockerbie Road.
I believe Queens have plans for the playing surface at KGV but it must me shared with the Dumfries Hockey team so not sure what the best solution is !!???
I think they said they might leave 1 pitch Arrol but the goalposts have already been moved from the bottom pitch where this new pathway / cycle track has been laid from behind Aldi's to the Parkhead housing scheme which, of course, then allows pedestrians / cyclists access from Annan Road to Lockerbie Road.
Yes I believe the old Fever hospital grounds will also be housing. In last Friday's Standard a letter from David Coulter of Annan Road said '' At a meeting of the Dumfries Common Good Committee on 27th March councillors voted to sell off the playing fields and open spaces at Parkhead and to pocket part of the receipt ''
