The Role of a Councillor
Scottish Borders Councillors are elected by you, the local community, to represent both the public interest and individuals in their ward. They are responsible for making decisions about local services on your behalf. They attend meetings, support the local community and establish links with local organisations and campaigns.
Councillors agree policies for providing services within the Council’s area These services are then managed on a day to day basis by officers employed by the Council. Councillors also make decisions about the Council’s budget.
