WATCH: Flooding a 'major issue' in Peebles
Resilient Group issues appeal for more volunteers
Last updated 25th Feb 2024
It was set up around eight years ago after the Borders was battered by Storm Frank.
Peebles Resilient Community has regularly helped out the town in times of need - often when the River Tweed threatens to bursts its banks.
Now it's issuing its own appeal for help - with a call for more volunteers.
Bob Kibble is one of the group's co-ordinators. He put up his hand to help after moving to the area.

Bob continued: "We meet probably about once every six weeks in Peebles, just to give an update on how things are going.
"We're currently looking at issues like more sandbag storage; we need to think about road signs for road closures, and where do we keep those signs?. We need to think about where we store our walkie talkie sets and our snow shovels.
"People are very good; local farmers and people who've got space are coming forward to help us out, but we're always on the lookout for that kind of resource to support us."
