Diversity In Community Councils’ work

(Adapted from a post on Tower Wharf Residents’ Association‘s website)

Community Council elections start on Monday, 5th September. Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council (ELREC) has organised a workshop on Wednesday, 7th September (6pm to 8:30pm) followed by drop-in sessions to encourage members of Edinburgh’s ethnic population to become involved with their local community councils.

Community Councils are for everyone, and Leith Harbour & Newhaven CC would welcome new applications to become a CC member for our area. Nominations open on Monday, 5th September and forms can be obtained from the returning officer, Cllr Adam McVey (email adam.mcvey@edinburgh.gov.uk) or downloaded from Edinburgh Council’s website from next week.

Interim election – update

Leith Harbour & Newhaven CC needs at least one new member to continue. But that’s not an upper limit – there are spaces for up to 7 new members. LHNCC will welcome new people to carry on its work on local matters.

If you live in LHNCC’s area*, you can nominate yourself between Monday 7 March and Wednesday 30th March. We’ll post about the nomination process as soon as we can.

If there are 8 or more valid nominations, then an election will be required – this would be notified on Monday 4 April and the polling day would be Monday 25 April 2016. However, if there are 7 or fewer valid nominations, the nominees will automatically become members of LHNCC.
