ABOUT US
Community councils are the most local tier of statutory representation in Scotland. They bridge the gap between local authorities and communities, and help to make public bodies aware of the opinions and needs of the communities they represent.
There are around 1,200 active community councils in Scotland. Local authorities have statutory oversight of community councils and are required to consult community councils about planning applications and licensing matters.
