COMMUNITY COUNCIL
The Community Council is made up of 6 volunteers who represent the views of the community and adhere to the Code of Conduct for Community Councillors.
Port of Menteith Community is located within Stirling Council Ward 1 - Trossachs and Teith where there are three elected members Martin Earl - Scottish Conservative and Unionist, Gene Maxwell - Scottish Labour Party, Elaine Watterson - Scottish Conservative and Unionist. “The general purpose of a community council is to act as a voice for its local area. This will involve it in articulating the views and concerns of local people in its area on a wide range of issues of public concern and make representations to the local authority, other public sector bodies and private agencies on matters within its sphere of interest”. The Port of Menteith Community Council area stretches to Braeval in the west, Menteith Hills in the north to a line from Ben Dearg through Loch Ruskie, eastwards to Dunaverig and in the south to the River Forth. Although historically located in the County of Perth, the Community Council now falls within the administrative area of Stirling Council. The community council area also straddles the boundary of Scotland’s first National Park, the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The next CC meeting will be held on Monday 15th April, 7pm Port Hall. This will incorporate the co-option of a new member and AGM. Local Services and Issues While the community council can raise issues around local service provision, local residents are also encouraged to request a service, or report an issue directly with Stirling Council. https://www.stirling.gov.uk/ If you have a general enquiry about the National Park, please get in touch at info@lochlomond-trossachs.org or call them on 01389 722600 - https://www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/contact-us/ Logging your issues direct with the appropriate authority helps raise awareness and get things done. |
