New active travel route

Share your thoughts on a new planned active travel route
Scottish Borders Council and South of Scotland Enterprise are running a feasibility study of a new 53km active travel route (for walking, cycling and wheeling) between the existing Tweedbank Railway Station and the new Reston Station Scottish Borders. The route is to be based generally on the alignment of the former railway line that originally linked the stations and runs through the heart of the region connecting towns and villages such as Earlston, Greenlaw, Duns and Chirnside.
Your local knowledge can give a useful understanding on how to better meet the needs of the community or landowners who may be able to benefit or be affected by the proposed scheme.
The survey is anonymous, and will take less than 4 minutes to complete. Take part by 31 March 2022.
