Under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, all Councils are legally obliged to set up Community Councils. These are legally recognised groups of local people with an interest in their community. The main role of Community Councils is to represent their local area, to consult with local residents, and pass their views on to public sector organisations such as Scottish Borders Council, NHS Borders and the Scottish Executive.
