Community councils are made up of local people who give of their time and have a genuine interest in, the well-being of their community and the people who live there.
Community Councils are a special type of community group that has a legal right to be consulted on important local issues, such as planning and licensing. They are a great way for local people to get things done in their area and make sure that the voices of local people count. They are a direct link between local people and the Council, NHS, police, fire and other public bodies. They meet to discuss matters of interest to their particular local area, with a remit to make known to the local authority and to other agencies, the views of local people on matters affecting them.
