In a joint statement, Leaderdale and Melrose Cllrs David Parker, Tom Miers and Kevin Drum, said: "There are lots of exciting projects underway in Earlston at the moment, and to support those projects a variety of different engagement events and public meetings have been held and will be held in the months ahead.
"This public meeting on the flood study and Eildon's plans are taking place at an early stage in order to get the views of the public and to raise greater awareness of the ongoing work that is taking place.
"Ultimately, the flood study could lead to improvement works in the Earlston area and the plans by Eildon to deliver new affordable homes, albeit at an early stage, are very exciting."
