Leith Links Community Council
Leith lies to the north of Edinburgh and is now a hive of activity and redevelopment. However the town of Leith has existed for several thousand years with its main activity coming from it's bustling port.
The Leith Community Council covers an area running from Bernard Street, Salamander Street out to Restalrig and down Easter Road although this is in the process of being reviewed.
The aim of the Community Council is to represent the people of the area. To bring forward new ideas and to work with the local Council to help improve things for local people.
The aim of this website is to inform the people of our area and outwith our area as to what we are doing and why and to encourage more community involvement in the area.
What is a Community Council?Community councils are groups of people who give time to, and have a genuine interest in, the well-being of their community.
They meet, usually once a month, and their chief role is representative; to consult the local community and to make known to the local authority and other public bodies the views of local people on all matters affecting them.
The local authority, in turn, has a duty to consult community councils on how local services are delivered and other issues affecting their neighbourhoods. Community councils have the right to be consulted on any planning applications in their areas and are also kept informed about licensing applications.
