A significant milestone has been reached with approval for the development of the Newton St Boswells Auction Mart. Since 1871 Newtown St Boswells has grown around its mart and now, 150 years later, the mart site will continue to be integral to the ongoing prosperity of the town. The Mart remains at the centre of this development and instead of coming through the town, it is the intention that all mart traffic will access directly from the A68. Cumbrian-based H&H’s holdings will create a busy town centre, a modern livestock auction mart for the Borders and a rural hub for surrounding communities.
