Crailing, Eckord and Nisbet Community Council is a legally recognised group of local people with an interest in their community. The main role of the Community Council is to represent its local area, to consult with local residents, and pass their views on to public sector organisations such as Scottish Borders Council, NHS Borders and the Scottish Executive. We are particularly keen to improve local amenities and facilities for the benefit of our residents and to develop community relationship between the three villages.  Click this link to view Boundary Map

We currently have vacancies for 2 representatives for the Crailing area and 1 representative for the Eckford will be standing down at the AGM, so we are seeking keen residents to take these places. It is an exiting time in local community council work as the intention of both the Scottish Government and Scottish Borders Council is to increase the input of local people to determine the future of their communities (or “local places” as they are being called). Do have a good think and if you feel you can make a contribution get in touch for an informal chat on cencomms@hotmail.co.uk
