Town & Country Planning in the Scottish Borders 1946-1996

We are happy to announce that Douglas Hope's talk that was cancelled in February has been re-scheduled and will now take place in the Anne Younger Studio, Eastgate Theatre, Peebles on the 20th of May at 7.30pm.

Douglas has been a town and country planner for over 50 years. He has worked for both central and local government in Scotland, principally at Borders regional Council between 1975 and 1996, where he was Depute Director of Planning and Development, and at the Scottish Government's Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals.

Douglas's talk will be based on his recently published book titled -"Town and Country Planning in the Scottish Borders 1946-1996: From Planning Backwater to the Centre of the Maelstrom". This talk promises to cover a topic that is highly relevant to to the activities of the Peebles Civic Society. Free tickets are available from the Eastgate Box Office or online (note there is a booking fee if you obtain online).
