The debate over a by-pass for Selkirk was recently re-ignited by its omission by the Scottish Government from the Transport Plan for Scotland. We hope that it should be possible to hold a reasoned discussion on the subject using the feedback facility. Support for the by-pass is by no means unanimous and there should be room here for both sides of the argument. The document A7selkirkby-passoverview is the  updated response from the CC to MSP Jeremy Purvis' survey carried out in 2008. As and when other responses are received they will be posted here for discussion.

On the by-pass issue, I am still sure that the angle to go for is the dangerous on-foot journey which the High School people have on that narrow footpath from the town, backed up by photos if possible; we've seen how many legal challenges, in fact, have succeeded where children's safety and welfare is involved.
