About Us
The Borders Party is the only party dedicated solely to the well-being of the Scottish Borders and its people. Launched in Galashiels on 16 October 2006, we have grown from a combination of campaign groups, business people, community councillors and many others angered by Scottish Borders Council’s plans for the region, and its management of local services such as education and transport.
We successfully contested the local elections on 3 May 2007 because we are determined to bring the voice of the Borders people back into the Council Chamber.
We are not affiliated to any national party as we believe that national politics have no place in local government. Because we do not contest Westminster or Holyrood elections, there is no conflict of interest between supporting the Borders Party locally, and the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats or the Scottish National Party nationally. Our supporters come from all walks of life across the Borders.
