ROLE OF THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL
It is the duty of the Community Council to represent the views and concerns of our community to the City of Edinburgh Council and other public bodies, insofar as such matters are relevant and may be of concern to the wider community. The community is a statutory consultee on planning and licencing matters.
Anyone attending our meetings can bring matters of concern or make suggestions (e.g. on ways of improving the local area or public services). Otherwise. such matters can be brought to our attention via a member of the Community Council (see members) or by emailing info@cramond-barnton.org
ATTENDING OUR MEETINGS
Members of the community we represent (PLEASE SEE BOUNDARY MAP) are invited to attend our meetings. Agendas are posted on our notice boards (@ Barnton Shops and Bright Horizons Nursery @ Cramond) and Facebook, minutes are available on this website. Business is conducted fairly informally but in accordance with the City of Edinburgh Code of Conduct for Community Councils. Attendees and members of the Community Council are expected to be respectful at all times.
The Community Council invites speakers to many of its meetings to make presentations, provide information and stimulate discussion on matters of local or wider interest or concern (e.g. road proposals, major planning applications, aircraft noise etc.)
ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY
CBCCC seeks to communicate widely with the local residents and other interested parties (e.g. local businesses, environmental and public service user groups) through our notice boards, Facebook page, Website, EH4 Barnton magazine, face to face contacts with CBCCC members and representation on groups such as the Edinburgh City Forum Cockburn Society, Edinburgh Association of Community Councils, Edinburgh Airport’s consultative Committee and Noise Advisory Board and Cammo Estate Advisory Committee.
Almond Ward Councillors of the City of Edinburgh Council attend CBCCC’s meetings and provide an important conduit for information and concerns between The Community Council and City Council. CBCCC may also liaise with Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSP’s) and Members of the UK Parliament (MP’s), who represent our area.
