We are one of the many community councils in Edinburgh who act on behalf of local people to represent their views to try and make their area a better place to live.

Our members are volunteers elected by residents or nominated by local organisations. Our local political representatives (e.g. Ward Councillors) are ex-officio members.  Although they have no vote on the community council, their help and input is highly valued - Council Members

Our main purpose is to act as a voice for the Craiglockhart area  

Our Mission Statement is as follows:

Make Craiglockhart the best possible place to live

• Be a Voice for our Community:
Represent Craiglockhart by gathering, coordinating and articulating the opinions, concerns and needs of Craiglockhart residents.

• Act as a Bridge:
Serve as a link between our community and various agencies, including the City of Edinburgh Council, other public bodies, and private agencies.

• Advocate for our Community:
Support and progress the interests of Craiglockhart, making representations and taking action as appropriate

• Promote Well-being and Community Spirit:
Enhance the overall well-being of our multicultural community and encourage everyone to join us in fostering a strong sense of community and social cohesion.

To accurately represent the views, wishes and needs of Craiglockhart we have to engage openly with you to establish the views of the community. This engagement can take many forms ranging from public meetings, surveys, social media, newsletters, this website, community events.

E-mail is a simple and effective way of communicating so, if you have not already done so, we would urge you to join our email list. This ensures that we can circulate items of interest and also enables you to let us know about any issues and concerns or give views and feedback. All of this can be done via our Contact Us form.
