LOCK the Gate-Tweed has thrown down the gauntlet to candidates running in Saturday's Tweed council election on the coal-seam gas mining issue.
 
The organisation opposing CSG mining on the Tweed sent a survey to each of the candidates to gain their views on the contentious issue.
Organiser Michael McNamara said the survey reflected a range of views on how to best combat the threat posed by CSG to the Tweed community.
"Most candidates and teams surveyed indicated that they opposed CSG in the Tweed and that they would take at least some steps to combat the threat," he said.
"We asked for commitments across eight policy areas and nine action areas"
