Community Enterprise are consultants to third sector organisations. They are carrying out a piece of work for Sanquhar Enterprise Company to look at whether the Whigham’s Inn site could be taken into community ownership.

The proposal is that affordable housing could be developed at the site. There could also be space for a commercial use alongside the housing. Sanquhar Enterprise Company is looking for suggestions from the community on what they would like to see at the site. An initial idea is to develop a community owned bunkhouse alongside the housing, but Sanquhar Enterprise Company is open to other ideas that could benefit the community.

If you would like to have a say in this you are invited to complete the community survey – online at this link: https://bit.ly/WhighamsInn

Alternatively, paper copies will be available at Sanquhar Post Office or Brown’s Newsagents, both on the High Street.
