PLANS to demolish rows of garages in Earlston to make way for housing have been unveiled by Scottish Borders Housing Association.

The region's largest social housing provider is hoping to ease the current waiting lists by building six two-storey family homes on sites along Queen's Way.

Eviction notices for tenants of the garages on the two sites - between numbers 31-and-33 and 55-and-57 - have been served.

The full application for demolition and building the two-storey houses will be considered by Scottish Borders Council over the coming weeks.
