Further times and venues for the first round of public consultations on Scottish Borders Council's Core Path Plan have now been confirmed. They are for the community council areas of Cockburnspath, Coldingham, St Abbs, Grantshouse, Reston and Auchencrow, Ayton, Burnmouth, Foulden, Mordington and Lamberton.
Thursday 18 May - Coldingham Village Hall - 2pm to 7.30pm
Friday 19 May - Cockburnspath Village hall - 2pm to 7.30pm
Saturday 20 May - Ayton Church Hall - 12noon to 4pm.
Anyone who would like to take part in the consultation, but who cannot come to a session, should contact Andrea Partridge
of consultants ProjectsPlus on 01333 320701.
The aim of the Core Path Plan is to help identify the region's most used paths and tracks. The consultations will help SBC
to establish a network of Core Paths, comprising the most popular and important tracks in the Borders, as required under the
Land Reform (Scotland) Act, which came into force in February 2005. The Core Paths Network is designed to give reasonable
public access to the whole of the Borders countryside and must be adopted by February 2008. The appraisal work, being carried
out with the help of consultancy Projects Plus, is set for completion by July 2006.
The views of farmers and other land managers are also being sought as part of consultation, to ensure that they have the information
they need to plan paths suitable for the landscape and land use.
