I read with interest last week’s letter from Allan Walker regarding the road markings in Marmion Road. If Mr Walker had given me the opportunity to speak when we met recently perhaps this could have been resolved then!

What does Houston know of joblessness?

Jock Houston effectively answered his question himself in last week’s Hawick News as to why I waited so long to highlight the outdated planning policies at Scottish Borders Council. Yes I did it last week, just before the coming election to highlight the ineptitude of the departing councillors who are supposed to have represented us at SBC for the past five years (and not just the Hawick contingent).

Pender’s long wait to go to the press

IN last week’s paper, Norman Pender blasted the planning authorities at St Boswells for refusing his application “last summer” to build a bungalow next to is current house in Cavers. All 23 documents to do with the application are on the council’s planning website (ref: 10/00843/PPP), and show that he applied for permission on June 14, 2010, was refused it by a planning officer on August 11, 2010, after she made as site visit, and lost his appeal to a review body of five councillors, who has also made a site visit, on November 25, 2010. None of these dates are “last summer” which was 2011, and one wonders why he waited so long to go to the press!
