A review of the Edinburgh Community Council Scheme is currently underway. The Scheme covers the rules and regulations governing community councils including election procedures, meeting arrangements, membership, and conduct.
The following steps have been taken in advance of the statutory consultation process to inform the draft proposals published for consultation:
Proposals aim to improve and update the terms and provisions of the Scheme. This will include the introduction of a complaints procedure for dealing with breaches of the Community Councillor’s Code of Conduct. Changes to the existing Scheme are highlighted in red and bold.
Your views are welcome on the Draft Scheme and Complaints Procedure including areas where no changes are proposed. These will be used to help shape the final documents to be submitted to the City of Edinburgh Council for approval on 2 May 2019. If proposals are significantly revised at this stage then a second period of consultation may be required.
Further information about community councils and the review is available at on the Council website
