Where could Dumfries and Galloway Council cut £30m?

One option on the list would be to end the council’s support of the free Youth Beatz festival in Dumfries.

It has been estimated the local authority could save £160,000-a-year by stopping its backing of the event, aimed at young people aged between 16 and 25.

About 40,000 fans came to the festival this year across two days at Park Farm.

It has been staged in the region since 2009 and the council has, so far, resisted repeated calls to starting charging for tickets.
