Let Jedburgh Lead!
We will take over Laidlaw Memorial Pool!
We are not a line item.
We are not a postcode.
We are Jedburgh—and we are ready to lead.
Laidlaw Swimming Pool isn’t just a building.
It’s where our kids learned courage.
Where our elders stretched stories into laps.
Where our community breathed together.
And when it closed, they told us it wasn’t viable.
Too expensive. Too inefficient.
But they forgot to count the cost of silence.
Of isolation. Of lost pride
We didn’t wait.
We rallied nearly a thousand voices to Jed Campus.
We drafted a better business plan than ever before.
We built a vision—not just for a pool, but for a hub.
A place with a gym run by Jedburgh business owners.
A café where families gather and local jobs grow.
A soft play for our youngest citizens.
And a competitive swimming team that puts Jedburgh on the map!
We don’t want permission.
We want partnership.
We don’t want promises.
We want power.
Give us the budget.
We’ll give you a thriving pool.
A sustainable model.
A community that governs itself.
Let Laidlaw Pool be the proof.
Let Jedburgh be the blueprint.
Let the people be the planners, the power, and the pride.
We are not broken.
We are brimming.
And we will not be quiet.
Give Us the Power Back now!
