Community Councils are bodies that play a vital role in representing the views of the community to local authorities and other public bodies. Their term of office is 3 years. They have no executive powers but are statutory consultees on planning and licensing matters. Anyone 16 years of age and over who lives in the Community Council area and whose name is on the electoral register can be nominated or apply to become a Community Councillor.

We are volunteers from the local area who are working to make our community a better place for everyone to live. We represent residents in the neighbourhoods of Ashgrove, Cornhill, Rosehill, Stockethill and parts of Hilton and Kittybrewster.

We present the views of the community to local government and other organisations so we discuss and negotiate solutions to local issues. We have a small budget from the Aberdeen City Council to help make local improvements and can apply for external funding.
