Tweedbridge Court, Margaret Blackwood Housing Association’s development which provides specially designed housing for disabled people in Peebles, has celebrated its 30^th Anniversary.

Tweedbridge Court was officially opened by Sir Robert Scott, Lord-Lieutenant of Tweeddale, on 19^th August, 1978.

Tenants, guests and members of the Association’s staff came together for a lovely buffet lunch to celebrate the birthday – a special “thank you” to Anne, Wilma, Kendra and Ann for putting on such a great spread and making sure everyone was well looked after.

After some poignant reminiscences by Bert Ferguson, chair of the Tweedbridge Court Registered Tenants’ Association, and some funny stories by Housing Support Officer David Ridgway, a beautiful commemorative cake was cut by tenant Joyce Caldwell.
