What are community councils?
Community councils are recognised groups of local people with an interest in their community.
What do community councils do?
The main role of community councils is to:
- represent their local area
- consult with local residents
- pass their views on to public sector organisations such as SBC and NHS Borders
Scottish Borders Council have a responsibility to consult with community councils about how local services are delivered and inform them of any changes to services or any issues that may affect their local area. A local Councillor attends our meetings, providing a good link between SBC and the community.
The public are very welcome to attend our meetings.
