I do not believe that plans approved by Dumfries councillors are in the best interest of Dumfries town or its residents and ask that that alternative flood prevention solutions are considered and put to the people for consultation

Why ask for public opinion when all you do is what you want !! There are hundreds of skilled and knowledgeable people out there who have excellent ideas why not listen to them instead of jumping in with both feet .

The council need to listen to the people of Dumfries and come up with a solution that will not destroy one of the beautiful and historic parts of town.

Please look further into the automatic barriers, maybe putting them between the car park and road, so when it floods, the car park is still used as a flood plain, but the road and shops are safe. This could help elevate the problem being pushed further down river.

I would hate to see, especially, the destruction of the steps at Devorvilla bridge and a flood barrier on the same construction as the one at Cockermouth on Cumbria who, incidentally, suffered a far greater flood than any I have witnessed in Dumfries . I'm 67 and Dumfries born and bred
