About the community council
Community Councils 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.
The primary purpose of Community Councils is to ascertain and express the views of their community to the local authority and public bodies on local matters and local issues. Community Councils may also become involved in environmental projects and organising community events.
Community Council elections are held every four years. The next Community Council elections will take place in 2027.
