The Steering Committee established at the beginning of the year to try to secure the future of the shop has been hard at work since our last village meeting in August.

Details of the community survey carried out by Kalewater Community Council in April - May 2017 regarding the Kalewater Community Company's intention to purchase and develop the 4 acres of land next to the Templehall Hotel in Morebattle.

On behalf of the village, The Morebattle Village Shop Steering Group has been appointed to research the viability of the shop and to explore all options of keeping the shop running. In order to do this a questionnaire will be sent out to gauge the community's views and feedback, but most of all any suggestions that you may have on how we - as a village - can keep the shop going.

We're looking into starting a Heating Oil Club in conjunction with Johnston Fuels.

Following the public meeting on Monday 13th June in Morebattle Village Hall we have compiled some of the points raised with further clarification.

As you may know the Templehall Hotel in Morebattle has been for sale for a long while. We are keen to safeguard the future of this valuable community asset. A public meeting is planned where you can find out more about this exciting project.

To ensure we will have a successful Exercise where everyone knows exactly what they are to do, it would be very helpful if everyone could attend a short meeting at the Temple Hall Inn on Thursday 14th April at 7.00pm.

The Kalewater Resilient Community Exercise is scheduled to be carried out on Sunday 17th April.

Come along to the meeting where under discussion will be the best way to keep records and how we can do it.

"Morebattle in Bloom" meet on Thursday 23rd April in the Institute at 7.30pm. As Morebattle is in the Champion of Champions Category this year we need as many people as we can get to help, planting, digging and general tidying up of the Village or any ideas that anyone has. If you're interested, please attend this meeting.
