Community councils were introduced through the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and have certain statutory roles and powers. Local Councils are required by law to set up a scheme to allow the establishment of community councils. Ultimately, it is entirely a matter for any community to decide if they want a community council in their area.
What area we cover
We represent the views of those residing within Stenhouse, Saughton Mains, and Whitson. More information.
