Dumfries and Galloway: Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale and Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock On 22 November GNPA wrote to all candidates standing in the December 2019 election, providing a link to key information on the GNPA web site and saying: As a candidate in the area for the 2019 Westminster election we invite you to pledge your support to encourage the Scottish government to consider the merits of a Galloway National Park. We invite you to – ‘Agree that in the light of the widespread support for a Galloway National Park revealed in the public engagement exercise conducted by GNPA, and the recent Scottish Parliament motion calling for the creation of more National Parks, the feasibility of establishing such a Galloway National Park should now be actively explored.’ We are pleased to record that the responses we received have all been very positive and offer support from all political parties. The key messages received by 5 December 2019 are as follows: From: Richard Arkless Scottish National Party Westminster Candidate I am absolutely willing to take that pledge. I’ve always thought it was a complete no brainer and am pleased to read how the campaign has progressed in the last couple of years. Please be assured that even though, at present, the Scottish Government has not agreed to another NP - that will not stop me making the case within my Party and ScotGov.
