A Berwick Development Trust could be established as the next stage in the borough’s regeneration process.

The idea was floated at a meeting emtitled ‘ Taking the Borough Forward’, held at the borough council last week to discuss the next step after the regeneration partnership committee stood down at the annual general meeting in September.

The development trust would be responsible for delivering targets set by the area’s Local Strategic Plan.

Drawing to the end of its first month in existence, Berwick’s Job Club, based at the Tweed View Hotel, has been successful in finding employment for three local people within the area.

The jobs are a receptionist, a factory checker, and a municipal worker.
