Community Councils
First established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, community councils are voluntary organisations set within a statutory framework.
Their key roles are to :
- represent the views of the community to the local authority (The Highland Council) and other public bodies operating in their area
- act to further the interests of their communities
- be consulted on planning applications within their area
- consider exercising their powers to object to the granting, renewal or transfer of liquor licences.
