“It’s something that the police and Tesco will be working together on to try to crack down on and to bring action against the offenders.”

Galashiels councillor Sandy Aitchison added: “The community action team are very much involved with tackling what is being dubbed the ‘Tesco Car Team’.

“They’ve also received various complaints about the cars making a lot of noise along the Melrose Road so are going to look at that too.”
