Leith Links Community Council

Leith Links Community Council consists of local people and interest groups who represent their community. Local views are put forward by the community council to the local authority and other organisations such as Scottish government, NHS Lothian and the police.

Community representation is done by various methods such as communication with the local authority by highlighting issues; meeting public officials; holding public meetings; carrying out surveys; meeting with other community councils; and arranging events to promote community council interests and issues.

The local authority has a duty to consult and inform the community council on services, licensing and other issues that affect their neighbourhood. A community council has a statutory right to be consulted on local planning.

Leith Chooses is an opportunity for the people of Leith to be directly involved in deciding how funds should be spent in the community.
