These pages provide links to agenda, minutes, police reports and other public documents considered during the monthly meetings.
Note that minutes from a meeting are only published once approved at the subsequent meeting, so they will, as a rule, appear approx 6 weeks after the meeting to which they relate. AGM minutes are approved at the subsequent AGM.
Please note the next meeting will be held on Monday 11th March 2024 at 7.30 at Lauder Primary School and also by ZOOM . Everyone is welcome to come along and to show an interest in the Community/ Community Council or to see the amount of work that the Councillors (all volunteers) do behind or on the scene.
If you wish to join the meeting on zoom, or prefer to stay nice and cosy on your sofa, please email our wonderful secretary and she will send you the link. However, please note when meetings are held at Blainslie Village Hall, WIFI may be a problem.
These Minutes and Notes can also be found on Lauderdale Community Council Facebook page where you are welcome to leave comments and someone will reply as soon as they can. A hard copy is also placed at the foot of the Town Hall with contact numbers and email addresses.
’20mph Community Council Information’
“Lauderdale Community Council, like all CC’s across the Scottish Borders, was not consulted on this change due to much of the decision making being made within the Lockdown period at SBC and Transport Scotland level. That said, we welcome any measures aimed at increasing road safety within Lauder and our wider area – concerns over the speed of traffic passing through the town have regularly been brought to LCC. We believe the changes will be introduced in Lauder in October and will be in place for a trial period of 18 months. We have no further detail at this stage.”
We would like to ask that everyone during 2024 remains as vigilant towards our Community as they were in 2023, especially with this new variant being on the go. These last couple of years have not been easy for many but no matter what, Lauderdale, as a Community, always tries to pull all the stops out and for this we would like to thank each and every one of

We would like to thank all LCC Members and of course LCC’s Secretary for their continual dedication to Lauderdale.
Please remember anyone is welcome to attend the LCC meetings. Often there can be quite a list to go through during the evenings of our monthly meetings, with this in mind it is suggested that if you have any concerns that you contact the LCC in advance of any meetings, this way the points of concern can be put on the list to be brought up on the Agenda. However, if it is not possible for you to do this, we have started a list format for the evening. This allows all members of the public to write down, at the beginning of the meetings, their concerns or worries, these will be assessed by the Chairman and raised according to topics on the Agenda or at the end of the meeting.

Agenda for INAUGURAL MEETING June 2019
In the past, occasionally, the above-named meetings have meant that some matters arising within the Burgh have had to be postponed until the following months meeting. We apologise in advance if this ends up being the case but we are quite sure you will all understand and that we will do our best to address any issues or queries as soon as possible. In the meantime, we would like to thank all the Community Councillors for all the (unseen by many) hours they have dedicated to the Burgh over the last term, we know they have spent endless hours doing the best they can in their various departments while standing as Councillors.
We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome any new or returning Councillors and we are sure, wherever possible, this following term will be as supportive, productive and Community spirited for all ages and abilities. We are keen to invite a young adult ( or two) to be involved with this coming term, so if you can think of anyone who has a strong voice or view on the best way forward for the youngsters of Lauder please do email us.
