INTERIM ELECTIONS

COMMUNITY COUNCILS

Highland Council approved a new Scheme of Establishment for Community Councils which came into force on 1st April 2011. The Scheme sets out the framework through which Community Councils are to operate and includes a suite of documents covering a Constitution, Standing Orders, a Code of Conduct for Community Councillors and Standard financial report formats and election documentation.

Community Councils were established as a result of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. They have statutory duties in terms of licensing and planning. However, they are essentially voluntary bodies established within a statutory framework. Community Councillors are elected by members of the community; they are not paid for their duties but volunteer their time for the benefit of the community. The Community Council is non-party political.

The key roles of Community Councils are:

To represent the views of the community to the Highland Council and other public bodies operating in their area.

To act to further the interests of their communities.

To be consulted on planning applications within their area and

To consider exercising their powers to object to the granting, renewal or transfer of liquor licences.
