What we do

Community Councils are facilitate a wide range of activities which promote the well-being of their communities. They bring local people together to help make things happen, and many Community Councils protect and promote the identity of their community. They advise, petition, influence and advocate numerous causes and cases of concern on behalf of local communities. Here are some examples of their work from across the country:

• Campaign on local issues

• Organise community events

• Conduct local surveys

• Issue community newsletters

• Faciliate local improvement projects

Community Councils are the strongest means of becoming involved with your local area. It will give you a good understand of the workings of local government and what is going on locally and nationally. All local authorities in Scotland encourage citizens to become a member of their Community Council.

We aim to meet 10 times a year on the fourth Wednesday of each month barring July and December.
