Community councils provide a very worthwhile role as part of local democracy but often they aren’t very well understood or valued. It’s a genuine opportunity to make your voice heard and raise issues that matter to you - which has got to be more positive than moaning on social media!
In Helensburgh we are looking for 10 nominations. We meet monthly on the last Thursday of the month 7pm at the Civic Centre. Outside of the meetings we arrange monthly beach cleans, look after the beds in Colquhoun Square, and report any infrastructure issues to the council. Our key role is to represent the views of the community especially in planning but also in other discussions with the Council or other organisations. We are all volunteers and have different interests and skills, we share the work between us, meaning the time commitment can be flexible.
