PROGRESS continues to be made on Moffat Town Hall Redevelopment Trust’s takeover of the former police station.
The Moffat Town Hall Redevelopment Trust began operating a community shop out of the unmanned police station in 2022 after reaching an agreement with Police Scotland.
Last year they announced their intentions to apply for a full community asset transfer to bring the station under their wing and continue to operate it as a community shop, with consideration given to accommodate a local tourist information centre working together with existing local tourist groups for the benefit of the town.
Now the trust have applied for £14,000 of funding to continue the transfer process.
A short update was read aloud at Tuesday’s meeting of Moffat and District Community Council, which stated: “There is an application for £14,000 for investigative works to put forward a full application there will be an invitation to submit a stage two application. The trust and Police Scotland remain in discussions about the asset transfer and Dumfries and Galloway Council are supporting the project.”
