Community Council

Community Councils are involved in a wide range of activities, including:

• providing financial assistance to local groups,
• developing local facilities and amenities, and
• organising community events, such as Participatory Budgeting.

Community Councils play an important role in local democracy by representing local views which can influence decisions on planning and the provision of local services.

Community Councils bridge the gap between the Council and communities and help to make public bodies aware of the opinions and needs of the communities they represent. The main purpose of Community Councils is to find out and express the views of the community to the local authority and other public bodies.
