Your Community Councillors are members of the community elected to represent the views of residents in our area in relation to matters for which the local authority is responsible. Our job is to find out what the community wants and take such action as appears to be expedient and practicable.
We meet in public once a month to discuss issues of current concern in the area. To find out the venue and dates of our meetings, please refer to the "Events Calendar".

New Fire and Smoke Alarm Regulations
New regulations<https://www.gov.scot/publications/fire-and-smoke-alarms-in-scottish-homes/> are coming into force in February next year. They cover all homes. The obligation to comply rests with owners and landlords - so if you rent your place, make sure your landlord is getting on with the required work, and if you own your home, it's down to you.
The new standard requires:
* one smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used for general daytime living purposes
* one smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings
* one heat alarm installed in every kitchen
All alarms should be ceiling-mounted and interlinked.
Where there is a carbon-fuelled appliance (such as boilers, fires - including open fires - and heaters) or a flue, a carbon monoxide detector is also required which does not need to be linked to the fire alarms.
