Nineteen people took part in last Saturday’s Galashiels and Langlee Community Council spring clean.
A total of 36 bags of rubbish – weighing 234kg – plus other waste was collected.
The areas covered were the left bank of the Gala Water at Comely Bank Mill Retail Park, Mill Lade near McDonald’s, Mill Lade at Bank Street, Bakehouse Burn in the Gala Policies, and the area between Heatheryett Cemetery carpark and the Ladhope Burn.
The next Gala Waterways Group work party will be on May 3, meeting at 10am at the parking area behind Prostrakan, 3 Queens Street.
