  • Planning Policy and Access Team Environment & Infrastructure Scottish Borders Council Council Headquarters Newtown St
    Planning Policy and Access Team Environment & Infrastructure Scottish Borders Council Council Headquarters Newtown St. Boswells Melrose TD6 0SA 10 December 2018 Dear Sir/Madam Local Development Plan 2: Main Issues Report I am writing in connection with the consultation on the Main Issues Report (MIR) and would like to share my views with you on the future direction for planning in the Scottish Borders. As you probably know, I am in the process of researching the history of town and country planning in the Borders for a proposed book; my attention at the moment is devoted to the period prior to 1975 when the former county councils prepared the first development plans for the area and concentrated their efforts on stemming rural depopulation and attracting industry to offset the slimming down of the textiles industry. During that time, central government played an important part in framing the future pattern of development in the Scottish Borders through the Central and South-East Scotland Plan and the Central Borders Study of 1966, which established the principle of major housing and industrial development at Tweedbank. After 1975, the Borders Regional Council took up the challenge and over-saw the end of 100 years of population decline in the region and achieved a steady growth in population based on the diversification of employment and the attraction of workers to the area. Economic development was the cornerstone of this recovery, combined with an improved road transport network and housing provision. Since 1996, the main driving force would appear to have been the need to accommodate an increasingly buoyant housing market with only incremental increases in employment land provision.

Within walking distance of the Borders Railway station, which runs to Edinburgh, there are amenities in the village which include a village shop with post office, a coffee shop, a primary school, a health centre and open countryside on the doorstep. Forming part of a larger detached house, there is lapsed planning permission for the erection of a dwellinghouse on the garden ground adjacent to the property. Currently used as private parking off-street parking for two to three cars, it offers excellent potential for something like a garage with studio or hobby space over – subject to the necessary permissions. Internally, the accommodation comprises two double bedrooms, a bathroom, a sitting room, a dining kitchen, a study/bedroom three and a utility room. Externally, the property has garden ground to the front, with lawn and borders, which is ideal for sitting out, plus a large area of terraced garden ground to the side, which provides the private parking for two to three cars whilst offering an excellent space for the erection of a garage or such. Edinburgh and most Border towns are also readily available from this highly accessible location with the A7 running through Stow providing links to Edinburgh in the North and Carlisle in the South. Galashiels 7.5 miles. Edinburgh 26 miles. Melrose 12 miles. Lauder 5.5 miles (All mileage is approximate) Location: 95 Galashiels Road is situated in popular Borders village of Stow, which benefits from a railway station on the Tweedbank to Edinburgh Borders Railway, which is soon to have a bar and bistro at the station.

  • Invitation and Itinerary
    The Scotland Borders England July 17-23, 2009 Invitation and Itinerary We hope you can join us in Scotland and England for exploration by bike of "The Borders" region of southern Scotland and northern England. In the guidebook Scotland the Best, The Borders is ranked as the #1 place to bike in Scotland. Touring by bike is the best venue we know for combining the outdoors, exercise, camaraderie among fellow cyclists, deliberately slow travels, and a dash of serendipitous adventure. We hold the fellowship and good times on past international tours as very special memories. Veterans and first time adventurers are encouraged to join us as we travel to an as yet undiscovered cycling paradise, before the word gets out! Mary and Allen Turnbull In 2009 Scotland will host its first ever Homecoming year which has been created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. This will be a special year for Scots, those of Scotch ancestry, and all those who love Scotland. It will be fantastic year to "come home." www.homecomingscotland2009.com What is the best way to participate in this countrywide celebration? By bike, of course! So in July we will bike by ancient abbeys, castles, baronial mansions, gently flowing rivers, and picturesque villages as we start in western Scotland and end in England at the North Sea. The Borders include the four shires of Peebles, Berwick, Selkirk, and Roxburgh in Scotland, plus Northumberland in England. Insight Guides says "It [The Borders] is one of Europe’s last unspoilt areas." One morning we’ll put on our walking shoes and hike the Four Abbeys Way as we make a 21st Century pilgrimage to Jedburgh Abbey.

  • Update on the Public Play Facilities Strategy
    UPDATE ON THE PUBLIC PLAY FACILITIES STRATEGY Report by Service Director Assets & Infrastructure SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL 27 August 2020 1 PURPOSE AND SUMMARY 1.1 Following the meeting Scottish Borders Council on 19 December 2019, this report sets out the process and outcomes of engagement with Ward Members on proposals for the decommissioning of some play equipment in some play parks within the Scottish Borders, as agreed. 1.2 The strategic review of Play facilities is integral to the planned future investment in Outdoor Community Spaces including Public Play parks, agreed as part of the 2018/19 Capital Investment Plan and updated within the Capital Investment Plan 2019-20 and 2020/21. The current 2020/21 capital budget includes funding of £4.809m into Outdoor Community Spaces over a 10-year period. This investment aims to unlock community aspirations in this area creating high quality destination play parks, as well as facilities for skating and small wheels, youth shelters and opportunities for people of all ages to take part in physical activity. Investment in these destination play parks has already completed in Galashiels (2018), Harestanes (2019), Selkirk(2016), Hawick (2017), Coldstream (2019) and Kelso (2019) with Peebles currently being procured and expected to be delivered in 2020. 1.3 The new investment creates a financial revenue burden and, in order to ensure a cost neutral impact of the investment to the Council, a programme of decommissioning of aged and underutilised play equipment is required. 1.4 Council agreed in May 2018 to review the distribution of play equipment provision across play parks in the Borders, to firstly inform decision making around future investment in communities and secondly guide the rationalisation of play facilities which are deemed no longer fit for purpose, ensuring a cost neutral impact on established budgets.

Amongst a number of local restaurants in the area there is the well regarded Howgate Restaurant and Bistro (1 mile). Slightly further afield is the professional and cultural hub of Edinburgh which also offers a selection of independent schools including George Watson’s College, which has a daily school bus service passing through Leadburn.
