Thanks to all volunteers and Mr D Seed for providing a straw bale. 4 LOTHIAN AND BORDERS POLICE WPC Rachael Mackey and WPC Karen Parker attended to hear our concerns regarding speeding through Gavinton. In July there had been a speeding check in the village and one person had been caught Due to pressure on resources manpower was concentrated on accident or crash hotspots to ascertain why these occurred and as no accidents had been reported, Gavinton was not considered a problem. It was suggested that any concerns should be sent to the Police Traffic Department at Hawick, including the use of Main Street as a short cut to Duns industrial estate, especially early in the morning, and also the large number of children in the village.
