Hutton and Paxton Community Council is made up of volunteers who give time to, and have an interest in, representing the residents of our community.

The Council members are residents of the area and act on behalf of local people to maintain and improve those aspects they believe are worth retaining.

Your Community Councillors are:
Sharon King, Chair (Hutton representative, full member)
Diana Beard, Treasurer (Paxton representative, full member)
Angela MacLean, Secretary (Hutton representative, full member) 
Rebecca Hall (Hutton representative, full member)
Tony Power (Hutton representative, co-opted)
We currently have three vacant posts 

We have all signed up to operating within the Code of Conduct for Community Councillors and are committed to implementing and promoting equal opportunities in our activities as set out in our Equalities Statement.

Our main role is to represent the local area and consult with local residents and pass their views on to public sector organisations such as Scottish Borders Council, NHS Borders and the Scottish Government. Scottish Borders Councillors who attend local Community Council meetings, and provide a good link between ourselves and Scottish Borders Council. The Community Council pursues matters of concern raised by community groups and individuals. For more information have a look through the Strengthening Community Councils document. 

The Community Council meetings alternate between Hutton and Paxton Village Halls. Members of the public are encouraged and are very welcome to attend these meetings and are given an opportunity to raise matters concerning them.

Date of Next Meeting

Families with children must have countless conversations around: ‘if only we had a ……in our village’ which could possibly be achieved with a good idea and some effort.
For example, the Paxton play park is on the SBC’s list for refurbishment so we have asked our younger residents for their views on what they would like to see in the park.

Community Council meetings should be about more than dog poo, parking and grass cutting!
We have an opportunity to make real improvements to the services we have in our area.
