Community Council Association/Federation

On occasions Community Councils need to work together for their area. This is called the Community Council Association/Federation.

There are four local Community Council Associations/Federations representing separate parts of Dumfries and Galloway. Each has a slightly different programme and emphasis. Some only represent a proportion of Community Councils in their area. All provide a channel for Community Councils to act together. All provide the local authority and Scottish Government with a vehicle of communication and a means of rapid consultation with the Community Councils in the area.

The aims of these Associations/Federations are: 

  • to promote the role, effectiveness and status of Community Councils;
  • to facilitate the flow of information between Community Councils;
  • to provide a forum for discussion of matters of common interest to Community Councils; and
  • to work with Dumfries and Galloway Council to achieve our aims.

The 3 Associations/Federations are:

  • Annandale and Eskdale Federation of Community Councils
  • Dumfries and Lower Nithsdale Federation of Community Councils
  • Mid and Upper Nithsdale Association of Community Councils
