Here is the agenda for the meeting.

Here are the draft minutes for the ordinary meeting on December 11th 2025.

Item 4 on the Agenda is approval of the Southdean Community Council Place Plan.

Item 5 on the Agenda is to agree a Motion supporting the following Unified Statement, proposed by the South of Scotland Convention.

That our Community Councils:
- RECOGNISE the impact of Climate Change on our planet but OPPOSES an unjust and unnecessary industrialisation of Rural Scotland.
- CALLS for our elected members to URGENTLY support and protect our communities at NATIONAL level, given that community consultation is inadequate and LOCAL DEMOCRACY is being overridden, with decisions made by Community Councils and Local Authorities consistently disregarded by the Scottish Government.
- CALLS upon the Scottish Government to undertake a PLANNING INQUIRY COMMISSION to address the whole cumulative impact of all major renewable infrastructure developments, including transmission, storage and generation with all ancillary infrastructure on our communities and landscape, rather than the salami sliced approach which has thus far been taken.
- CALLS for a PAUSE of all major applications, given the impact upon our communities, which may hasten depopulation in some areas until a clear NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY is in place and an ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT undertaken given that tourism is a major part of our rural economy.
