Friday, 26 November, 2021

Commenting on Cllr Rowley's appointment as leader of Scottish Borders Council, John Lamont MP said:

"I warmly welcome Cllr Rowley's appointment as leader of Scottish Borders Council. I am looking forward to working with him across the wide variety of issues on which the council and I collaborate.

"I am very thankful for Cllr Haslam's hard work in leading the council over the last 4 years. She has steered the council through a very difficult period recently.

“However, I am confident that Mark will prove to be a more than capable successor.

"Maintaining a strong relationship with the council is very important to me in my role as an MP in the Borders. I liaise with them daily on a whole host of issues raised by constituents.”

Rachael Hamilton MSP said:

“I sincerely congratulate Mark Rowley on his appointment as the new leader of Scottish Borders Council.

“Taking over from Shona will be no easy task, given her exceptional contribution to the council over the last 4 years. However, I believe that Mark will do a fantastic job, and I am very much looking forward to working with him in his new capacity as leader of the council.

“I will endeavour to support him in any way that I can, and wish him all the very best in his new role as leader of the council”
