“Remember, we’re talking about a few hours of road closures, once a year, for an event that generates millions of pounds in visitor income” Tour O The Borders sportive faces cancellation after residents complain about event’s road closures cycling
after a number of cyclists taking part said they were confronted by a small group of protesters – believed to be angry at the closure of the roads during harvest season – who allegedly blocked the road and hit some riders with sticks.
However, this year it appears that a community group has succeeded in potentially bringing down the shutters on the Tour O The Borders, with the Scottish Borders Council deciding that the current route cannot be staged on closed roads in 2024. Hillside Outside also claimed that the opposition to the event appears to stem from a vocal minority and that recent local surveys carried out by the council have found that 87 percent of respondents were either “supportive or very supportive” of the Tour O The Borders taking place, compared to just under 12 percent who were not supportive.
