Buried Cable from Innerleithen to Yair

Wednesday 30 October 2024 at 5 pm

Caddonfoot Village Hall

 SPEN is going to give a short update on the progress of the buried cable works, which started on 7 October 2024.

There will be a question and answer session after the update.

HotTrod Theatre Company Presents: El Duglas

Every year, in the Andalusian town of Teba, an event is held to commemorate the heroic deeds of the Good Sir James Douglas, often known as “The Black Douglas,” who fought and died there in the Battle of Teba in 1330. He was on his way to the Holy Land with the embalmed heart of his friend, Robert the Bruce.

Sir James was Bruce’s ablest lieutenant and the most professional soldier of his day, whose menacing resourcefulness and outright genius undoubtedly led to victory in the First Scottish War of Independence. Who better to tell his story than the Bruce himself?

Date: Sunday 22nd September
Time: 7:30 PM
Location: Caddonfoot Hall
Tickets: £15 from or on admission (cash only)

You will be aware there is a national problem regarding the delivery of postal votes, with some voters still awaiting their postal packs.

In response, the Scottish Borders Council is to open a drop-in facility to allow postal voters who have a problem with, or have not yet received their postal pack, to pick up a pack in person. This will be set-up at Council Headquarters in Newtown St Boswells.

The facility will be open from 9am to 2pm on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 June.

Voters should come to the Council Headquarters in Newtown St Boswells, with photographic identification and proof of address, and a postal pack will be issued to them.

Only voters from Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk will be issued replacements.  Any electors for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale should contact Dumfries and Galloway Council for a replacement.”

Placemaking is well on its way to becoming a reality.  Thanks go to all who visited the placemaking stand at the School’s Fun Day on Saturday and thanks, especially, to those who volunteered and/or wanted to know more about placemaking.

This is an ongoing project so look out for further updates. You can also email the placemaking group at to request more information. One of the placemaking team will get back to you.
