	However, with your help and support, you could see No. 4 Hay Terrace turn from this (left) to something like what you see to the right! This is just a mock-up, but it gives you an impression of what might be!
NOW!		COMING SOON?
	Or change from this..........to this!

In 2001, following a public meeting to discuss the project, at which approximately 150 residents attended with only a few residents opposed to the project, the Community Council funded the initial planning application to convert No. 4 Hay Terrace, part of the former premises of George Hay and Son, grocers, to form a public house for the village. This application was approved by the Berwickshire Area Committee of SBC. The Community Council, in August 2001, then stepped back to let a group of local residents drive the project forward and start fundraising, as this is to be a commercial project, albeit one which it is hoped is managed by and for the benefit of local investors. For more information on the Community Council position, click here.

The project is now being driven forward, as it was hoped, by a new company Cockburnspath Enterprises Ltd. The company are seeking potential investors within the community and it is hoped that a share issue will follow shortly. For more information on how your help can turn an idea into reality, contact Derek Swenson on Co'path 674 or e-mail Derek at derekswenson@aol.com who can provide details of the business plan and how shares will be issued and voting rights.
We believe that this project is important to provide a social hub (allied to the Village Hall) for the local community, as well as a venue for hot and cold snacks. this will not only benefit locals but also help to generate some income from tourists (walkers and day-trippers) to the area, who currently find little on offer locally at present. In addition, it is hoped that 2 or 3 full-time jobs will be created, with additional part-time work opportunities in the Summer peak season.
