The store had closed in March 2018 but is now run as a community enterprise, after various funding was acquired.

The shop’s closure had resulted in the loss of five jobs and left villagers with a 12 mile round trip to Peebles for basic provisions.

The new application is made by Bill Sheridan, on behalf of Upper Tweed Community Enterprise.

The agents on behalf of the applicants are Icosis Architects, based in Battery Road, North Queensferry.
