Introduction

Lochgoil Community Council, like other Community Councils, is a democratically elected Body put in place by Government to represent the Community in its area. Community Councillors are all volunteers and give their time voluntary to the Community. They are the problem solvers and supporters for community concerns around the area, taking those issues for the Community to Local Government, MPs, NHS, Police, National Park, and Forestry Commission Scotland. They are the main contact and supporters for their Area put in place by Government.

“I feel honoured to serve the community in this role and am excited about the great team we have on the Community Council and the positive difference we can make. Key to our success is great community engagement, so I’d love to see as many of you as possible come along to our meetings to help shape our priorities, either face to face or virtually. Everyone is welcome!”  Emma Lawrence, Convener of Lochgoil Community Council

Community Council – We want to update you on events

It is difficult to make everyone aware of local issues in a timely manner and, as a result, the council does not receive as much feedback as they might.

Although not everyone has e-mail, a large proportion of the community does and this could be used beneficially. An e-mailing list is being set up in association with the Community Website and you are invited to subscribe to it. As a minimum, subscribers will receive notification of Community Council meetings, copies of agendas and subsequently the minutes of the meetings. Additionally, other information which the Council feels the community should be aware of will also be forwarded. Information will continue to be published on village notice boards and in The Wee Goil.

If you wish to subscribe, please send an email with the subject “Subscribe to Community Mail List”
