Renewed interest in plans for caravan park gathers strength following turnaround
A proposal for a caravan site in Hawick, Scotland, is now being reconsidered before the final day for offers closes later this month.
Following previous proposals for a park on the site being approved back in 2009, little progress has been made since. But now the site is currently being advertised on a href=”http://www.scotborders.gov.uk/” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>Scottish Borders Council’s‘s website with the proposal being “To develop a 90-pitch caravan and camping site.”
The closing date is set for anyone who wants to apply to develop the site is 24 March, however it should be noted that
discussions between officers and local rugby teams concerning the land have taken and will continue to take place.
Councillor Stuart Marshall is delighted with the development, saying: “The prospect of a caravan park in the town will be a shot in the arm, especially when we’re trying to attract more tourists to the area.”
Fellow councillor Watson McAteer added: “The prospect of attracting visitors when regeneration of our High Street is a top priority, and with the park being refurbished, could not be better.”
No information has been released concerning when the final decision will be made.
