Six children have become ill after swimming in the River Tweed earlier this week.
Warning signs are being erected along a section of a Borders river after six children became ill while swimming earlier this week.Several parents contacted the authorities after their children complained of high temperatures, sore stomachs and diarrhoea.A spokeswoman for the local authority said: "We are erecting signs asking for people not to swim or paddle in this part of the River Tweed.
"Parts of the River Tweed are also in 'significant level' for water scarcity, with low water levels meaning the discharge could be more noticeable and less diluted."As spokesperson said: "We investigated this issue when it was reported to us. We believe this is a private pipe and it is the responsibility of its owner to repair.
