IT will be good to talk again across the Borders over the coming weeks as councillors hit the road to ‘pick the brains’ of constituents.
Elected members will soon be taking part in Community Conversations 2024, building on the success of the last two years.
The events, which start in August and continue through September and into October, will give members of the public across the Borders an opportunity to meet and talk to their local councillors and senior officers of the council to discuss what matters to them in their local communities.
Community Conversations are not formal presentations or Q&A sessions, they are planned to facilitate and encourage one to one or small group conversations in a relaxed environment.
Members of the public can drop-in at any time during the evening.
Community Conversations will be held on the following days, all events will start at 6.30pm, except Tweeddale (7pm) and Eildon Area Partnerships (6pm).
