Dumfries loses out on bid to achieve city status

Dumfries has lost out on its bid to become Scotland’s newest city.
The town was in the running for the accolade through a competition as part of the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations.
The award went to Dunfermline in Fife, but campaigners who spearheaded the bid have pledged to “keep going” with an ambitious programme of improvements for the Queen of the South.
The chairwoman of the city bid’s organising group, Councillor Tracey Little, said: “While we are disappointed not to have been awarded city status, we do congratulate Dunfermline.
“But this is not the end for Dumfries – far from it.
“The improvements that we have planned for the town featured strongly in the campaign, and they will still be going ahead.
“Doonhamers, the wider region and visitors deserve to see our ambition for our town sustained.
“We have had fantastic exposure as part of our campaign, and I firmly believe this has really put Dumfries on the map. People across the whole of Dumfries and Galloway have really supported the bid and we should be very proud of our achievements.
“The body of work detailed in the bid is really valuable and we’ll use that to keep the momentum going for a sustainable and bright future. Previous towns in Scotland which have successfully achieved city status have greatly benefited from more investment, more new jobs and improved infrastructure.
“We still believe city status would bring huge benefits to Dumfries and the wider region.”
South Scotland SNP MSP Emma Harper said she was “disappointed” following the announcement on Friday, “particularly given the hard work of the community and representatives in the local authority who submitted an excellent bid”.
She added that she hopes MSPs “will get behind any future bid”.
“Let’s all

Lorraine Kelly 'can fit back into' wedding dress 30 years later after losing 1.5 stone
For someone who’s been up since 5am to prepare for her ITV morning chat show, there’s a sprightly air to Lorraine Kelly when we catch up with her. With her hair piled high, the 62-year-old broadcaster is speaking over Zoom from the back of a car on the way home from ITV’s London studio. She’s just as engaging as she is when interviewing her own guests and there’s a radiance to her – and we have a feeling her recent lifestyle overhaul has something to do with her extra sparkle.
