Scottish Borders Council is a large local government authority responsible for delivering public services across the rural Scottish Borders. The organisation covers a geographically dispersed area, relying on a sizeable workforce to operate across communities with varying needs. Its stated purpose focuses on enhancing quality of life, supporting local businesses, and promoting health, happiness, and confidence within communities. Headquartered in Newtown St Boswells, the council serves residents and businesses through a broad portfolio of public services and planning activities. Recent developments include a partnership with Live Borders to redevelop Teviotdale Leisure Centre in Hawick and convert the indoor bowling centre at Tweedbank. Additionally, the authority has expanded its offices to Rosetta Road to improve how it delivers services.
