The group is aiming to hold a series of community writing, music and drama workshops, followed by a DVD and a book, and needs the public's support.

Residents will appear on Border TV's Lookaround programme tonight starting at 6pm to set out their case which is part of the People's Project funded by the National Lottery.

The public can now cast their vote – until noon on April 3 – for the group by going to www.thepeoplesprojects.org.uk
