the Border Union Show was excellent - lively conversations (Family Farm Tax, social care, renewables, NHS, schools, so much more) - and donโ€™t forget the livestock!

Under the SNP, people are stuck in hospital, prevented from getting on with their lives. You canโ€™t fix the NHS unless you fix care because the more patients are delayed in hospital, the longer people wait at A&E and the longer ambulances wait outside the front door.

Great to meet with the Eastgate Theatre board this evening. The new lighting system will reduce energy bills significantly as well as reducing environmental impact. The programme for Aug - Dec has something for everyone. Well worth a visit.๐Ÿ‘‡ eastgatearts.com

Out and about in Peebles today. From the Old Town to Edinburgh Road the floral displays are still magnificent. Thanks to all the volunteers who make it happen and to the local businesses that sponsor some of the displays

If we don't monitor sewage leaks we can't fix things. We need a government that acknowledges the need for improvement. We can do better than this in Scotland ๐Ÿ‘‡ Ray Georgeson MBE - Borders Liberal Democrats ๐Ÿ”ถ Duncan Dunlop
