Key facts
- Euan Jardine has been Conservative Leader of Scottish Borders Council since 2022, chairing the cabinet and setting council policy.
- UK councils handle council tax, social housing, planning and licensing, adult and children's social care, waste and recycling collection, local roads, and (outside London) local schools. Reserved matters — benefits, immigration, tax, and the NHS's national policy — go to central government or your MP instead.
- Identify yourself as a resident: full name, home address, and postcode, so staff can confirm you live in the council's area. For a ward-specific issue, your own ward councillor (found via the council's website) will usually get a faster reply than the Leader.
- Post to a council leader is not free — a normal Royal Mail stamp applies.
- PostPal prints your letter and posts it via Royal Mail the next business day for £4 — no printer, envelope, or stamp needed.

Common questions
What is Euan Jardine's mailing address?
Councillor Euan Jardine, Leader of the Council, Council Headquarters, Bowden Road, Newtown St Boswells, Melrose, TD6 0SA.
Should I write to the council Leader or my local councillor?
For a council-wide policy question, write to Jardine as Leader. For something specific to your street or estate (a pothole, a planning application next door, a bin collection issue), your own ward councillor is usually faster — find them via Scottish Borders Council's website and post to the same civic address, marked for their attention.
Do I need a stamp to write to Jardine?
Yes — post to a council leader takes normal postage; there's no free-post rule for UK local government. If you'd rather skip the stamp and printer entirely, PostPal prints and posts your letter for £4 flat.
Do I have to live in Scottish Borders's area to write to Jardine?
No, but casework is normally only taken up for residents. If you live outside the council's boundary, your own local council is the right first contact — or write to Jardine specifically about a policy that affects you as a visitor, worker, or business owner locally.
Will Euan Jardine actually read my letter?
Constituent post is logged by council office staff, and issues tied to an upcoming cabinet decision get flagged directly. Include your return address — PostPal prints yours automatically — so a reply has somewhere to go.
