Community Councils

  Local Representation Through Community Councils

Angus Council supports and encourages local representation through its Community Councils. The purpose of Community Councils is to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the views of local communities to local authorities and other public bodies. No less than 26 Community Councils currently operate in Angus.

Angus Council acknowledges and supports the role of Community Councils and Area Forums within local communities and Angus' Burghs, particularly with respect to decentralisation. The Council endorses a system which respects and promotes the important links between the Burghs and their surrounding rural areas.

Community Councillors are members of the public who put themselves forward to be representatives of their community. You can find out more about  how to become a Community Councillor  from the Angus Council website.
