Community Councils in Scotland

Community Councils in Scotland are local organizations that represent and serve their communities, acting as a voice between residents and local authorities. Comprising elected volunteers, they discuss local issues, provide input on council decisions, and promote community interests. They help coordinate local projects, communicate information, and support civic engagement. While they do not have legislative power, they play a vital role in shaping community development, influencing policies, and ensuring residents’ concerns are heard at a local level. These councils strengthen grassroots participation and support collaborative efforts to improve community wellbeing.
