The purpose of the ‘Langholm’s Future Charrette’ initiative is to engage younger demographics in Langholm – those aged between 14 and 40 – in the town’s future development.  

Specifically, the initiative will draw out views, knowledge and ideas from this demographic who are living, working and/or studying in the Dumfries and Galloway town in its aspirations for the town including it’s substantial but presently underplayed heritage and tourism assets. In doing so it will explore practical links and development opportunities in employment and economic development.
