Upper Liddesdale & Hermitage Community Council

Place Plan
The Community Council has conducted a survey so that a "place plan" can be created. This place plan will give us a snapshot of what is important in this community, what we like about the area, what we don't like, what is needed to make it better and the sort of development we definitely think would make it worse.

Community Councillor Rosie Webster has been analyzing the results of the survey and her preliminary findings were given in a presentation to a Community Council meeting on the 13th of July 2023. It was agreed then that a committee be formed, chaired by Rosie, which would develop a place plan document from what has been learned.

The PowerPoint presentation given by Rosie has been made available here by kind permission of Rosie.

Rosie used data from the 2011 Census to create a profile for our community and compare the demographics then to now.

Finally, here is the survey questionnaire used to gather the data on our community.
