Statutory Consultation of the Scheme for Community Councils and their boundaries
At a Special Meeting on 8 February 2024, Council agreed to begin Phase 2 of the consultation and review of the Scheme for Community Councils and their Boundaries. Phase 2 of the public consultation will commence on 19 February 2024.
We have a statutory requirement to consult with affected stakeholders as part of the review on changes to the Scheme for Community Councils and their Boundaries in Edinburgh. We want to hear your views on how Edinburgh’s scheme can be improved to best represent and support your community.
Phases of the public consultation
There are three phases to the public consultation process.
Phase 1 sought initial thoughts and views on the existing Scheme for Community Councils and their Boundaries and completed on 8 December 2023.
Phase 2 will commence on 19 February 2024. The proposals for Phase 2 are based on initial feedback received during Phase 1 and the decision made by Council at a Special Meeting on 8 February 2024. Phase 2 closes on Friday 3 May 2024.
Phase 3 will give the opportunity to make any last comments before the final scheme is adopted.
Please note that the consultation timescales are indicative and subject to change and a Public Notice of the period of the statutory consultation has been posted.
