Drylaw Telford’s back in business!

Community Council re-established in Drylaw Telford

Drylaw Telford, Craigmillar and Old Town Community Councils have now been established following a successful nomination period last month. Nominations closed on Monday and the three community councils now form part of a network of 45 community councils established across the city.  

Community councils are made up of local residents and community groups such as youth forums, parent councils and student bodies. Each one is represented on the Neighbourhood Partnership for the area, where they work with local elected members, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Lothian and the voluntary sector to identify and deliver local priorities.

Councillor Maureen Child, Convener of the Communities and Neighbourhood Committee, said: “This is a great achievement for the communities of Craigmillar, Drylaw Telford and Old Town. 

“Community councils support communities to thrive and bring people together to make change happen. I look forward to hearing of the achievements that will follow in these areas.”
