THE Leader of Scottish Borders Council is taking to social media for an online question and answer session tonight.
Between 6 and 7pm this evening (Thursday, February 23), Councillor David Parker will be answering residents questions from across the Borders.
The Administration’s spending plans were agreed by Council on Thursday, February 9, and Councillor Parker is welcoming questions both about the budget, as well as any general questions about the Council’s services.
Councillor Parker said: “Earlier this month we agreed our revenue and capital plans for the next five and 10 years respectively.
"In addition to protecting frontline service, we have committed substantial funds to key infrastructure right across the Borders, regeneration of our towns and improvements in schools.
“These are being delivered despite decreasing public funding and increased demand for Council services and I am interested to hear the views of Borderers on this budget, our priorities and about Council services in general.”
Councillor Parker will be online to take questions through the Council’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/sbcouncil and Twitter feed @scotborders.
