The entrance to the Fleming property at Linton has been moved by the council to the existing entrance, rather than create a new entrance.

The roads department are also looking at the possibility of erecting larger signs at Linton Bridge.They are also about to begin consulting with residents in Morebattle regarding the new footpath on Main Street.When digging at the top of Main Street, the new replacement tar appears to be sinking, which will need to be discussed with the roads department.
