Community council nominations

Nominations are currently being sought for residents to serve as members of Broughty Ferry Community Council. All the relevant paperwork including hard copies of the nomination forms is available in Broughty Ferry Library on the community council noticeboard. Nominations must be sent to the returning officer by 23rd October.
 
In Dundee there are community councils active in Broughty Ferry, Fintry and the West End and as well as seeking nominations for people to sit on these community councils Dundee City Council is also keen to receive petitions from local communities to establish new community councils. There is currently provision for 19 community councils in Dundee.
 
A community council is a voluntary organisation run by local residents. Its role is to express the views of the community to public bodies on issues of local concern and to promote the interests of its area. Broughty Ferry Community Council meets at 7.00pm on the first Tuesday of every month (except August) in Broughty Ferry Library.
