INTRODUCTION

TO THE COMMUNITY Council

The West End Community Council comprises local people with a genuine interest in the well-being of their community who give their time and interest on a voluntary basis. We are able to highlight the views of local people on the matters affecting them. The City of Edinburgh Council consults us on how local services are being delivered. It also provides information on planning applications, licensing applications and other information about services provided in the West End.
