Chair’s Annual Report

The chair has not been in place long, so the report only covers a few months.

The Christmas market was well attended and well received, and helped raise some money for the Community Council and the Christmas Lights Committee.

Letter has been sent on behalf of CC to support Berwickshire Anti-litter Group (BAG). BAG have had media attention, and have managed to get meetings and commitments from stakeholders and politicians.
