GALASHIELS Community Council meetings are moving.

The group usually meets at the Burgh Chambers.

But from next month, the gatherings will be held in the town's Focus Centre in Livingstone Place.

Chairwoman Judith Cleghorn said: "I would like to propose that we move our meetings to the Ability Centre – within the Focus Centre.

"It will certainly be a lot warmer than it is in here and there will be plenty of tea and coffee on offer.

"I would also say there is better parking for people."

All members accepted the proposal.

The first meeting to take place in the new venue will be on Wednesday, January 9 at 6.30pm.
