Galliford Try Digital Infrastructure was joined by dignitaries from Dumfries and Galloway Council to mark the start on site on new multi-modal transport hubs.
The turf cut event took place in Newton Stewart, the venue for one of nine new hubs that will offer practical, low-carbon alternatives to private car travel, such as e-bike hire, electric car club vehicles, secure cycle storage and cycle repair stations, as well as public EV charging points.
The hubs will also connect with local bus and rail services to support more joined-up journeys, with features including bus waiting areas and real time passenger information screens.
The Newton Stewart event was attended by Councillor Stephen Thompson, Leader of Dumfries and Galloway Council, alongside local elected members, including Councillor Tony Berretti, Vice-Chair of the Economy and Infrastructure Committee.
Cllr Thompson, said: “It is good to see construction now underway on these transformative transport hubs. They will make it easier for people to choose more active ways to travel - whether that’s walking, wheeling, cycling or using public transport - and will help reduce our reliance on high-emission vehicles.
“This is a significant step forward in our ambition to create a more connected, sustainable region, and for Dumfries and Galloway to deliver practical solutions that benefit both people and the planet.”
Jon Collins, Operations Director for Galliford Try Digital Infrastructure, commented: “We are delighted to be getting underway on these much-needed new hubs that will build on our position as a supplier of innovative solutions to meet the demand for new EV charging stations and integrated lower carbon transport facilities.”
