What is the purpose of the community council?

To represent residents’ views to both Angus Council and the Scottish Government. We are here to:

• ascertain, co-ordinate and reflect the views of the Aberlemno and District community, to liaise with other community groups within the area, and to fairly express the diversity of opinions and out-looks of the people in our area;

• express the views of the community to the local authority for the area, to public authorities and other organisations;

• take such action in the interests of the community as appears to it to be desirable and practicable;

• promote the wellbeing of the community and to foster a community spirit;

• be a means whereby the people of Aberlemno and District shall be able to voice their opinions on any matter affecting their lives, their welfare, their environment, its development and amenities.

Simply put, our role is to connect the local community, the local government, and the national government, and to represent your concerns.
