Can we help?
Want to say something about your local area or local services? Then why not get in touch with your local community council?
- We represent public opinion to the local authority and other government bodies
- We work to safeguard and promote the area's best interests
- And we also work with others to improve your community
Almost every area of West Lothian has a community council. Under the Local Government Scotland Act, local authorities were encouraged to help set up these community-based groups to represent local residents.
Each community council is regularly asked to comment on a range of issues such as:
- the local environment
- local planning applications
- drinks (liquor) licensing
- local plans
- decentralisation of public services
- community planning
So if you have a strong view or want to be heard let us know. Community councils are also asked to contribute to public consultations regarding the whole of the district.
