I could go on about the whole variety of trades and skills that people want. During the recession, we were particularly concerned about the construction trade, and there are still some challenges to face in that respect.

Meeting of the Parliament 16 January 2014
The town centre, like others, has faced significant challenges in recent years as a result of the changes in patterns of retail demand; the town’s proximity to other major retail centres, such as Carlisle and, to a lesser extent, Glasgow and Newcastle; the expansion of out-of-town retail centres along the A75; and, of course, the rapid growth in internet shopping. The recession added further problems, as a number of retail chains with shops on the high street went into administration and, in addition, many of our older town centre retail properties that are not situated on the high street are smaller and older buildings, for which there has been little demand in recent years—indeed, some have changed their type of occupation because of that.Dumfries and Galloway Council has developed a number of projects to improve the public realm, including the flood prevention proposals that I raised last week with the environment minister, who is in the chamber at the moment.
