SBC Announces Live Borders Report dates
Added at 14:45 on 17 October 2025
The Scottish Borders Council’s Joint Transformational Change Programme Project Team has announced details of updates on decisions on Live Borders assets, as a result of their survey on sport, leisure and cultural facilities and services and the related public feedback.
The latest news is that the report to SBC Council on facilities and services, originally scheduled for the October Council meeting, has been postponed.
Instead, a special meeting of the Council will be held on Thursday 20 November, where the report will be discussed as a standalone item. The report and its appendices will be published on the SBC website on Thursday 13 November. This web page will also include a link to watch the 20th November Council meeting online, or review the recording afterwards.
The Project Team says: “The ongoing work to analyse all the feedback captured through the extensive consultation and engagement exercise and assess the many options is proceeding at pace, and it was agreed that taking the report to Council in October would leave little opportunity for thorough member engagement on proposals ahead of that meeting.”
However, a report will still be brought to the October Council meeting, setting out the work undertaken to date and providing an update on the SBC and Live Borders Joint Transformational Change Programme. This report will be published on the SBC website on Thursday 23 October and will also include a link to watch the Council meeting online on Wednesday 29 October, or review the recording afterwards.
