Two pedestrian guides – one at either end of the works – will be available to escort parents and pupils to and from the school. This will happen during afternoons only as the road closure will not affect the morning school run.

A letter drop is due to be carried out for all local businesses and households affected, outlining the phasing and diversionary arrangements.

The works are part of a £2.6 million resurfacing programme which will see a total of 32 Borders roads improved.

The programme is predominantly funded by an additional £1.8m investment announced as part of our budget in February 2018 to target road repairs across the region.

The majority of the programme targets key routes in towns and villages which require improvements.
