The Scottish Borders area is forecast to receive heavy rain showers and strong winds this weekend, our Neighbour Services Teams are proactively checking all the main grilles and watercourses throughout the area to ensure there has been no serious build up of leaves that could potentially block the grilles and cause issues.
Should you have a grille in your community that you see has become severely blocked with leaves please report it to our customer services team on 0300 100 1800 or online https://www.scotborders.gov.uk/site/xfp/scripts/xforms_form.aspx?formID=143&language=en
