Peebles and District Community Council (PCC) is governed by the Scottish Borders Council (SBC) Scheme for Community Councils.

Ordinary Meetings of the Council are held on the Second Thursday of each month in the Council Chamber, Chambers Institution, Peebles. These meetings normally start at 7:00pm and continue until approximately 9:00 pm.
Our meetings are publicised in the Peeblesshire News the week before the meeting with any changes to time and venue advertised.
Minutes and reports from the chair, planning convenor and police are available in Documents.
There is also a copy of the minutes and agenda displayed on the Community Council Noticeboard each month. The board is situated on the right of the archway leading to the Chambers Institution and Quadrangle. A further copy is located in the library. Please ask the librarian for the Community Council folder.
All meetings are open to the public.
Each meeting allows 10 minutes for a Question and Answer session for members of the public to ask a question on any subject of relevance to the community council.
'A Plan for Peebles' is live.
There will be a number of ways for community members to provide their thoughts and feedback in April and May including via an online survey, or at local in-person workshops, drop-ins and pop-ups.
