The General Data Protection Regulation

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into law in the UK on May 25th, 2018. It replaces the 1998 Data Protection Act and introduces new rules on privacy notices, as well as processing and safeguarding personal data.

Dalbeattie's Tree of Heaven in the grounds of the Parish Church is lit up each year to coincide with the Christmas lights in the town.

Its main purpose is to light a light to remember a loved one, including a friend or relative during the Christmas and New Year period. The names of those commemorated are displayed inside the church.

Donations given for the lights this year totalled £800 which will be distributed among local charities. Previous beneficiaries include First Responders and the Dalbeattie Scout Movement.
