Scott's Place toilets

Overview

Following contact from Scottish Borders Council with community-based organisations in the Selkirk, Selkirk General Store has approached SBC with a proposal to purchase the toilet block and use it as a re-use hub.

SBC has no plans to re-open the toilets.

The ‘wee’ reuse hub will prevent items such as bric-a-brac, hardware and textile from ending up as waste and going to landfill. It is anticipated that items will be available by donation or free if the person needs and will build on the regular rummage sales that the General Store holds.

Before selling the building, we are seeking the views of the local community to make sure that there is support for this proposal.
