The BBC News website reports that the SBC Councillor for Duns (previously mentioned here for bizarre letters to the Berwickshire News) has welcomed the plans for 62 additional houses in the town despite 50 objections received by the planners at SBC. Is this a wise move less than 6 months from election day?
A round up of some of the more parochial stories from some of the local weekly newspapers in the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. A brief outline of the stories you may have missed, the stories that really weren't stories in the first place and the stories that you wish you'd missed.
As with any paper shop - interesting snippets will be picked up and reported here, although no items for sale will be accepted for display in the window.

Just seen this and blogged about it-we also have a rather odd councillor whom we might lose at the next election with a bit of luck

The Bizarre Berwickshire Councillor has written a letter to the Berwickshire News saying he's not going to stand for re-election. Apparently he's joined to Greens and is off to save the planet....well something along those lines.

It was noticed in my scan today.... no doubt he's clearing off with several years' worth of our collective Council Tax in the Golden "Sod Off" given to retiring councillors too
