Future Innerleithen - Community Event on Saturday 13th June 2009On behalf of the Future Innerleithen team I would like to thank the 500+ residents who came to the Community Event on Saturday 13th June to state their priorities for the needs of Innerleithen. There was a lot of lively discussion and considered thinking before each resident marked their 6 top priority needs. We will now analyse these results and publish a Community Action plan soon with a copy going to every house in Innerleithen, Traquair and Glen. News26th March 2009 Overwhelming Response The residents of Innerleithen have overwhelmed the Future Innerleithen team with their fantastic response to a recent household survey. “Future Innerleithen” comes under the umbrella of the Community Trust, and the survey process is supported by Big Lottery funding. The aim is to produce a Community Action Plan for the town. Future Innerleithen - The story so farFollowing a recent meeting attended by a number of local groups, the “Future Innerleithen” working party has been formed to establish the views of people in Innerleithen i.e. the EH44 postcode area. This group comes under the umbrella of the Innerleithen Community Trust. It is felt locally that Innerleithen has missed out on investment in recent years with most investments going elsewhere in Tweeddale, we think that it now time for Innerleithen to have money spent on it for the good of its residents, shop keepers, businesses and visitors.
