Eyemouth Harbour
Written by Local Democracy Reporter, Paul Kelly
Townsfolk in Eyemouth can gain a unique insight this month into an ambitious masterplan for the town’s harbour.
Eyemouth Harbour Trust will host a series of public exhibition events in June, giving local residents and stakeholders the opportunity to view and discuss emerging proposals for the future of the harbour.
The public exhibitions will take place at Eyemouth Community Centre from June 10 to 12 as part of ongoing engagement on the harbour masterplan, which was launched in August 2025.
On Wednesday, June 10, three presentation sessions will be held at 10am, 2pm and 6pm, with the project team providing an overview of the masterplan. Each session will conclude with an open question and answer session.
Drop-in sessions will then take place on Thursday, June 11 and Friday, June 12, giving people the opportunity to view information about how the masterplan proposals are progressing, ask questions and provide feedback.
Those attending will be able to explore the latest development work, including potential approaches to strengthening the harbour’s long-term resilience and supporting future economic activity.
There will be an opportunity to speak with the project team, ask questions, and provide feedback, which is essential in shaping how the harbour responds to coastal pressures while continuing to support local businesses, jobs, and the wider community.
The feedback gathered will help inform further evaluation as part of the outline business case and play an important role in shaping future decisions.
Christine Bell, chief executive of Eyemouth Harbour Trust, said: “Community engagement is an essential part of this process.
“These exhibitions provide an opportunity for people to see the work that has been undertaken to date and to speak directly with those developing the proposals.
“We want to ensure that local knowledge and perspectives help inform the next stage of the masterplan.”
