DDCC
As well as representing the local authority, Community Councils facilitate a wide range of activities which promote the well-being of their communities. They bring local people together to help make things happen, and many Community Councils protect and promote the identity of their community. They advise, petition, influence and advocate numerous causes and cases of concern on behalf of local communities.
Community Councils are public representative bodies. They are made up of groups of people who care about their community and want to make their area a better place to live.
Community Councils act as a voice for their local area. They express the views of the community they represent on a wide range of issues of local concern, to the Council and other organisations.
Community Councils also raise funds from various sources for local projects and events like gala days or providing Christmas lights for their community. Community Councils get to put forward their views on local planning applications and on which premises in their area can sell alcohol.
