AIMUP Meeting Tonight
"Do come along to the open evening about the Uplift at Innerleithen for bikers, walkers and disabled. It's tonight at the Innerleithen Memorial Hall between 5 and 8pm.
There are videos of the equipment, plans of the base village, car parking etc. This will become a great facility for the people of Tweeddale and beyond, providing a restaurant, biker facilities, retail at the base and a cafe plus walks onto the Southern Upland at the top of the hill. This will open up the great views and countryside access to walkers, disabled as well as bikers. At least 100 local jobs could be created by this facility. Already we've had some great new ideas from the 300 attendees at Sunday's event.
Members of the AIMUp group will be there to answer your questions.
We'd like your support and attendance so we can demonstrate to planners, Scottish Borders Council and funders that there is genuine community support for this project. Bring your family as well."

The Innerleithen Online web site has been created by Innerleithen and District Community Council to provide information about this beautiful area of southern Scotland.
This area lies within the Tweed Valley and is an excellent leisure centre for golf, fishing, mountain biking and walking. The Southern Upland Way is also within easy reach.
There is a busy events calendar throughout the year which includes musical events, festivals and sporting pursuits, so there are lots to see and do. We also have an amazing array of local organisations which cater for a wide variety of interests and who welcome new members.
Schooling is provided at the excellent St Ronan's Primary School which also has a pre-school nursery.
There are good links with Peebles (6 miles) and Galashiels (12 miles) with Glasgow and Edinburgh also within easy reach. The B709 coming from Heriot in the north (14 miles) via Leithen Valley also passes through the town before proceeding south via Traquair to Yarrow Valley and St. Mary's (15 miles).
Innerleithen Online offers web space to local hotels, businesses and organisations within the Innerleithen area, so if you want to have your business featured here then please get in touch, or you can add it to the Business Directory at no additional cost.
Local events organisers can list their key events free of charge in the What's On section and local news intimations can be added in the Community News section.
For more information about our town please see the Innerleithen section in Key Centres.
