Councillor Alan Moir, convener of development and regeneration, said: “This is a vital time for our town centres and if we are to ensure their long-term viability and vitality then we need as many people as possible to get involved.

“We would like to hear from anyone with a keen interest in shaping local town centres.

“The workshops and survey will provide us with a good platform to take forward strategies for each of the town centres, which we are aiming to publish as drafts next year.
