about the Roslin & Bilston Community Council.....

Where is Bilston ? Where is Roslin ?

what have we achieved?

The Community Council is a voluntary organisation that meets once a month and provides a forum for residents, businesses and groups within Roslin, Bilston and the surrounding area. At our meetings, held on the first Tuesday of every month, members of the public are free to come along and raise any issue they wish with our committee. Also at the meetings are the local councillors and a representative from Lothian and Borders Police.

The Community Council is currently looking for new members. We have spaces for representatives from Roslin and Bilston. Any resident is free to become a member. We are looking for people who run groups, own businesses in the area or people who have a strong interest in the community to join us. If you are interested in becoming a member please contact us or attend one of our meetings.

The community council has been in operation since 1996 and its objectives are .....

• to ascertain, co-ordinate and express to the local authorities for its area and to public authorities, the views of the community which it represents, in relation to matters for which those authorities are responsible, and to take such action in the interests of that community as appears to it to be expedient and practicable.
• the encouragement of co-operation among the various community organizations in the area.
• the retention of the identity of a Community amongst people living in the Area.
