I also live in Tweedbank, and would have loved it to stay a unique ideal wee village
i can only assume that the powers that be recon that the local area needs these Extra housing it would be a shame if local young families where forced out of the town through lack of housing it seems like a catch 22 your dammed whatever
i do know that a lot of the people waiting to move in to the new barratt Homes houses are in Temp private rented housing in tweedbank already.
I only Hope That The continued Need to expand the town is for NEEDED LOCAL HOUSING and Not some other under/Backhanded reason.
i mean if Any Huge Company Wants To build here do they just pay for a kiddy park or a few new paths.
As great as these facilitys look they already have become a gathering point for teanagers at night and the shouting and screeming carries in the valley.
