Nominations for CC elections open tomorrow, Monday 5 September.
Anyone on the voters register living in the LCCC area can be nominated as an ‘Elected Representative’; using the relevant form. Registered Community Groups put themselves forward as potential ‘Nominated Representative’ on LCCC.
Community Council elections start on Monday, 5th September. Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council (ELREC) has organised a workshop on Wednesday, 7th September (6pm to 8:30pm) followed by drop-sessions to encourage members of Edinburgh’s ethnic population to become involved with their local community councils. Community Councils are for everyone and Leith Central CC would welcome new applications to become a CC for our area. Nominations open on Monday, 5th September and forms can be obtained from the returning officer, Cllr Lewis Richie (email lewis.ritchie@edinburgh.gov.uk) or downloaded from Edinburgh Council’s website from next week.
Black and minority ethnic (BME) residents living in Edinburgh & the Lothians, and current community council members, are invited to
Celebrating Diversity in Community Councils.
