Community Councils - final proposals

Overview

Clackmannanshire's community groups are responsible for a wealth of caring, social and recreational community activity which makes a real difference to the lives of many people. 

Community councils are one type of community group.  As well as organising community events, community councils also play an important role in local democracy, representing the interests of their communities and safeguarding community amenities.

Like other community groups, they get their strength from the active support of the very communities they benefit.

We'd like your views on how helpful these ideas would be and any suggestions you might have for how community councils might continue to operate in a way which is relevant to today's communities.

What happens next

We will consider your comments in the final decision a new framework for community council governance.
