Why your views matter

Community Councils, local residents, and community-based stakeholder groups, are invited to engage in a review of the current Midlothian Scheme for the Establishment of Community Councils.

Increased engagement in the process will raise the profile of Community Councils and their role in local democracy.

What happens next

On 24th June 2024 the Council will meet to consider the consultation responses and agree a 1st draft of an amended scheme.
