Scottish Community Councils

Scottish Community Councils are local voluntary bodies that represent the interests of their communities within Scotland. They act as a bridge between residents and local authorities, providing a voice for local concerns, opinions, and ideas. These councils are made up of elected residents and work to improve community welfare, influence local decision-making, and promote community development. They operate independently but often collaborate with local government agencies to ensure that local issues are addressed effectively. Essentially, they serve as a democratic platform for community engagement and influence at the local level.
