A borders removals and storage company has put expansion plans on the agenda.
Second To None: Removals & Storage is a well-established Innerleithen business providing removal services all over Scotland and the north of England as well as storage facilities for furniture and household items within its existing shed.
The company provides secure storage space in large wooden boxes within their existing shed for people who are between houses or are temporarily living abroad or elsewhere, to provide storage of their furniture and household effects pending a return.
Now, an application has been submitted to Scottish Borders Council to create a secure compound on its own land north of 20 Tweedbank Ley for people and businesses within the Border towns of Peebles, Innerleithen and Walkerburn.
This will allow them to provide, on a rented basis, individual standard steel containers as secure self-storage units accessible whenever the individual wants.
A report with the application states: “The proposal is to use approximately half the land designated for industrial use but currently unused opposite Second to None’s existing storage shed, to create a level compound using the existing access from Traquair Road.
“It is not anticipated that there would be regular access by any of the individuals or businesses who will rent the standard steel storage containers.
“It is purely offering storage facilities to individuals who do not have space at home or businesses at their workplace, accessible as they require.”
