Barbara Elborn, Secretary of Newcastleton and District Community Trust commented: "We are delighted that our project has been recommended for a stage two application. A significant amount of work has gone in to developing this project, which will create business space, new community learning and meeting rooms and a no-frills bunkhouse capitalising on the growing outdoor leisure market."
