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, Health and Social Care Partnerships, Police, National Park, and Forestry and Land Scotland. They are the main contact and supporters for their local area put in place by Government.

“I am privileged to live in such a beautiful place surrounded by a passionate community.  I am honoured to serve our community as part of the Community Council, and I am thrilled to be joined by enthusiastic and committed members across the Community Council.  A key part of being successful in our role is to ensure that we listen to and represent the voice of the community, to do this effectively we need to hear from you.  We will be having ten community council meetings each year and there will be a chance to get involved with projects throughout the year.  I hope to see you at some of our meetings and events!”  Andrea Finkel-Gates, 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, we will be seeking views on a future communications plan.

For now we will continue to use the e-mailing that was 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 to with the subject “Subscribe to Community Mail List”
