“Community Councils play an important part in our towns and villages and anyone interested in working with their community council is encouraged to put their name forward for the community council.
“Coldstream has been without a Community Council for over a year so it is vital that a Community Council is resurrected to allow local views to be represented and put forward. If anyone would like an informal chat about community council life, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.”
