Gorgie Dalry Community Council

15/05/2026

Dear neighbours,
Gorgie Dalry Community Council is at risk of dissolving unless we can attract renewed interest and support from people within our community. We are looking for local residents who care about the area and want to help shape its future.
There are many ways to get involved. You can become a full member of the Community Council, help with a specific project, or simply contribute your ideas and support when you can. Every contribution matters.
You do not need previous experience or specialist knowledge to take part. Community Councils work best when people from different backgrounds bring their ideas, perspectives, and enthusiasm together to improve life for local residents, and training and support are available through Edinburgh Council for anyone taking on a role.
While there are formal roles such as Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Planning Officer, and Communications Officer, nobody is expected to work alone. The council’s strength comes from members supporting one another and working together as a team.
Our next meeting will be on Monday 8th June, and we would strongly encourage anyone interested to come along and get involved.
This is an opportunity to make a real difference in Gorgie and Dalry — whether that means improving local spaces, representing community concerns, supporting local events, or helping residents have a stronger voice in local decision-making.
If you are interested in getting involved, or would simply like to find out more, please get in touch at [email protected].
