Community Council

The Role of the Community Council

Community councils act as a voice for their local area. They 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.

There are currently 56 Community Councils within Argyll and Bute, covering every geographical area from Cardross in the east to the island of Tiree in the west.

Community Councils are the first or the “grass roots” tier of statutory representation in Scotland. They bridge the gap between local authorities and communities, and help ensure that public authorities are aware of the opinions and needs of the communities they represent. The secretary for Lismore Community Council Is Mandie Currie. mandielismore@btinternet.com
