We'd love to hear from you!

At Dumfries and Galloway Council, we're committed to providing high quality services that meet the needs of our communities. Whether you've recently used our Libraries, Registration Service (births, deaths and marriages), Face-to-Face Customer Services, or Heritage Service, we'd be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete our Customer Services Satisfaction Survey.

Your feedback helps us understand what's working well, where we can improve, and how we can continue to deliver the best possible experience for our customers.
Every response matters and helps shape the future of our services.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views. Together, we can continue to improve our services for everyone.

📖 7 жовтня голоси читачів з усієї Шотландії об’єднаються в одному великому святі читання.

Щиро дякуємо Peter Kormylo за те, що він долучився до ініціативи Wee Read та пообіцяв читати з нашої української книжкової колекції 7 жовтня.

Ми раді, що книги українською мовою стануть частиною національного читацького моменту в Шотландії. Такі ініціативи допомагають об’єднувати громади, підтримувати культурне розмаїття та ділитися радістю читання.

Приєднуйтеся до нас 7 жовтня, оберіть свою книгу та станьте частиною Wee Read!
