Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about how the Community Council works, when we meet,

and how you can get involved.

What does the Community Council do?

We act as the voice of the local community, representing the views of residents to the City of Edinburgh Council and other organisations. Our role includes commenting on local planning applications, supporting public consultations, and championing initiatives that enhance community wellbeing. We also organise events, raise awareness of local issues, and maintain open lines of communication between residents and public bodies.

What doesn’t the Community Council do?

We are not a local authority. We do not deliver council services or have executive powers over decisions like planning approvals. Instead, we serve as a consultative and advisory body, amplifying community concerns and offering local insight to decision-makers.

When and where do meetings take place?

We meet on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 PM, except during July and December. Meetings are typically held at Gilmerton Library, 13 Newtoft Street, EH17 8RG, and are open to all residents. Agendas and minutes are published in advance on the website.

Who can attend meetings?

All meetings are open to the public. Residents are welcome to listen, raise local concerns, or participate in discussions. No prior notice is needed - just come along.
