Overview

Scottish Borders Council Budget Consultation 2026/27

Scottish Borders Council is made up of skilled and experienced staff and councillors who work hard to plan and deliver services for everyone in our region. We have a deep understanding of our communities’ needs and are committed to using our expertise to make the best decisions we can.

But our budget is limited and we cannot do everything that people might want. This means we have to make difficult choices about how we spend money and which services we prioritise. Your views are vital—they help us understand what matters most to you and guide how we deliver services in the future.

This consultation asks for your views on how Scottish Borders Council should plan and spend its budget for the year starting 1 April 2026. Your feedback will help us make decisions about the services that matter to you.
