Duns Volunteer Hall row

THE row over Scottish Borders Council not renewing their lease of the Volunteer Hall in Duns rumbles on, but the hall users will be glad to see light at the end of the tunnel. Councillor Frances Renton is to table a motion asking the council to overturn their decision not to renew the lease and this will come as great news to the community of Duns. The hall users would like to see the council taking a five year lease for the hall thus enabling them some time for further negotiations regarding its future. Hopefully France's fellow councillors will do the right thing.
