Kingsmeadow Road in Peebles could be closed until the end of month while essential work is carried out.

A Scottish Borders Council spokesperson said: “Kingsmeadow Road in Peebles is currently closed as a result of ongoing work to fill a void discovered under the carriageway.

“The closure is in place until Friday 28 November but may last longer, as the extent of the void is confirmed.

“We apologise for the inconvenience caused to motorists by the closure but we are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We are also working to address concerns with the temporary diversion route during the closure.”
