BORDERS branches of a the UK's biggest builders merchant have been saved from the axe.
Travis Perkins, who operate 2,060 stores across the country and employ around 28,000 staff, announced that 30 branches would close, putting 600 jobs at risk.
Luckily for Borders, the four branches in the area will not be affected by the closures.
A spokesperson for Travis Perkins told us: "Following the recent announcement over store closures, the stores at Kelso, St. Boswells, Selkirk and Peebles in the Scottish Borders are not affected."
