OK, we did not succeed in halting the closure of the Cottage Hospital. This seems very sad given just how many people turned out to protest at this decision, particularly in an area not noted for mass protests of any kind. It is clearly madness to increase the amount of travel people have to make to hospital, to make visits, etc, particularly in an area already remote enough.
However, you get the cooncil you vote for.
On the day, the band, ably assisted by bands from throughout Berwickshire, did its bit. We thank the players from Duns, Eyemouth and Kelso who came along.
A heavy polis presence stopped matters getting out of hand!!
