Role of the Community Council

What do we do?

Community Councils are groups of people who give up their time to, and have genuine interest in the well-being of their community. We meet once a month ( plus public, gala and sub-committee meetings) our main role is Representative; to consult with the local authority and other public bodies the views of the people on all matters affecting them. The local authority, in turn has a duty to consult Community Councils on how local services are delivered and other issues affecting their neighborhoods. Community Councils have the right to be consulted on any planning applications in their area and also kept informed about licensing applications.

One of our responsibilities is to seek and take note the views of the residents.

Tillicoultry Community Council meet every second Tuesday of the month (except July) in Tillicoultry Community Centre @7.30pm.

These meetings are open to all local residents and members of the public can raise matters of concern. this is one of the ways you can "have your say" (or question) any decision that effects the public life in Tillicoultry.

Police and Local Councilors attend our meetings.
