What we do

Looking after our local area

Community Councils are bodies that play a vital role in representing the views of the community to local authorities and other public bodies. Their term of office is 3 years. They have no executive powers but are statutory consultees on planning and licensing matters. Anyone 16 years of age and over who lives in the Community Council area and whose name is on the electoral register can be nominated or apply to become a Community Councillor.
