Scottish Borders Council has announced plans that could see many local nurseries close.
Those under threat include Cockburnspath, Ednam, Westruther, Yetholm and Sprouston.
Closing these nurseries would be a huge inconvenience for local families and working parents, and could prevent people from moving to small towns in the future.
It's basic common sense that parents and children need good nursery care near where they live.
I am completely against these proposals and will work with parents across the Borders to save our nurseries.
If you agree, join my campaign.
