GALASHIELS is the “worst signposted town in the Scottish Borders” according to Community Councillor Drew Tulley.

At February’s Galashiels Community Council meeting Mr Tulley stated there isn’t adequate signage to promote the town.

He told the meeting: “Every entrance to the town has poor signage.

“It has been well over a year since any of them have been repaired, yet there are three massive signs in Hawick all provided by the council.

“Bull all the signs here are in a shocking state. We are the worst signposted town in the Scottish Borders. The coat of arms cannot be seen and that was brought up a year ago and it has not been done.

“We should be publicising the town. 

“The whole point of these meetings is to bring up the problem and it should be taken up and talked about at the next meeting.”
