• Community Councils
  Community Councils are key partners in local government and in developing local communities, with the aim of maximising the benefits for local people and their communities. Community Councils were introduced under the Local Government Scotland Act 1973 to gather public opinion and pass these opinions on to local authorities and other public sector bodies. As the voice of their local community, Community Councillors have this in common with local authority Councillors, Members of the Scottish Parliament and MPs.
