Scottish Borders Council is seeking input on the proposed future development of the Berwickshire Coastal Path.

The council has launched a short survey to gather the views of the public, landowners and local organisations.

The 30-mile long path follows the coastline from Cockburnspath to Berwick-upon-Tweed, and also links up with the Southern Upland Way, the John Muir Way and the Northumberland Coastal Path.

The route regularly suffers from erosion, landslips and damage to footbridges and steps, resulting in alterations to the path.

Councillor Jenny Linehan, Executive Member for Environment and Transport, said: "The Berwickshire Coastal Path is well used by local people and visitors and is an important part of the path network in the region.

"This survey will inform the next stages of a project aiming to develop a longer term plan for the path which protects and enhances it whilst continuing to allow for adaption as and when required."

The survey is open until midnight on 31 January and can be found at www.scotborders.gov.uk/BCPsurvey
