About US
Representing the local community
The West End Community Council is a statutory consultee, comprising local people with a genuine interest in the wellbeing of their community who give their time and interest on a voluntary basis.
Established under the Local Government (Scotland) Acts 1973 and 1994, the WECC is a non-party-political forum representing the local community, able to make known to the local authority and other public bodies the wide-ranging views of local people on matters affecting them.
The City of Edinburgh Council consults the community council on how local services are being delivered. It also provides information on planning applications, licensing applications, and other information about services provided in the West End
