PLANS to create up to 100 jobs with a major development in Tweedbank have been unveiled.

Edinburgh-based developer New Land Assets has confirmed that it is advancing with proposals to redevelop a site at the corner of Tweedbank Drive and the main A6091 road.

The development will include a hotel, a supermarket, a drive thru coffee shop and a petrol filling station on the site which neighbours the Borders Railway Terminus.

Duncan Hamilton, managing director of New Land Assets told us: “Piggy-backing on the success of the reopening of the Borders Railway, we are delighted to bring forward these exciting plans at the Borders Gateway site that will deliver new and additional facilities for the growing population of Tweedbank and also create new job opportunities for local people.

“The feedback we have already received has been really positive and there is a lot of excitement about our investment.

"We have talked to a lot of people already but we want to talk to more people and get their views.”

There will be a public consultation on the plans on Wednesday, March 14 at Tweedbank Community Centre from 2pm to 8pm.

The public are invited to view the proposals for the Borders Gateway development and speak with members of the team.
