Yetholm Community Council meets on the last Tuesday of every month - with the exception of December - in the Youth Hall at 7pm. All these meetings are open to the general public and provide an opportunity to join in with matters and debates which directly affect the village. In addition to Councillors, the meetings are also attended by the local Regional Councillor from Scottish Borders Council and, duties permitting, the local police officers. The A.G.M. is held each April at a venue and time as publicised.
There are eleven elected Councillors who serve for terms of three years (renewable). Each Councillor takes responsibility for specific areas of interest (portfolios). Information regarding the various portfolios + copies of recent Minutes of Community Council meetings can be found by clicking of the relevant drop-down tab. Current councillors, with their portfolios & contact details, are -
