West End Community Council election #dundeewestend

The City Council is keen to encourage nominations of Community Councillors to join the West End Community Council.

The purpose of a community council is to :

+ Act as a voice for local people

+ Actively seek views and concerns in the area

+ Make public bodies aware of local needs and opinions

If you wish to become a Community Councillor, you must have a completed nomination form returned to the Community Council Liaison Officer.

All relevant information on becoming a Community Councillor, a map of the West End Community Council boundary and nomination form can be viewed and downloaded online at www.dundeecity.gov.uk/community-council-elections – alternatively, paper copies can be obtained at Blackness Library.

Deadline for nominations is 1st December 2023.

For more information, please contact Joanne Kelly (Community Council Liaison Officer) on Dundee 438597 or joanne.kelly@dundeecity.gov.uk

Riverside Pavilion Open Day #dundeewestend

Following on from the last West End Community Council meeting to discuss possible future community uses of Riverside Pavilion for the local community, the community council has arranged an open day at pavilion to allow local residents and community groups to look around the building.

The City Council has agreed to open Riverside Pavilion tomorrow – Saturday 7th October – between 1pm and 3pm and all are most welcome to attend.

Riverside Pavilion – possible community uses #dundeewestend

From West End Community Council :

West End Community Council – election of additional community councillors

West End Community Council is calling for nominations for new Community Councillors as there are spaces to fill.  West End Community Council has space for up to 10 more Community Councillors.

In order to fill these spaces, there will be a recruitment period known formally as an ‘election’ where we call for nominations to join the Community Council. 

Community Councils play an important role in the local West End community and are an important link between the community and public bodies.      

It is important to note that West End Community Council’s boundary does not cover the whole of the West End Ward as the Community Spirit Action  Group covers areas like Pentland, Tullideph, Ancrim and areas around Forest Park Road, Cleghorn Street and Brook Street – the areas to the north of the ward.

The community council area is therefore most of the south of the ward – roughly everything south of Blackness Road east of Balgay Road, everything in the ward west of Balgay Road, plus the Logie area.

There are also conditions for eligibility in terms of age and being on the electoral register – all this information can be accessed online or in Blackness Library. 

As this is a statutory group, there is a  process and publicity format for nominations which started from this Monday (5th October) and forms must be completed and returned by 30th October.  

More information is on the poster on how to obtain the information required online or via Blackness Library. 

The community council is a great way to become involved with our local community so do please consider getting involved if you live in the community council area.

West End Christmas Fortnight is packed with events and we hope that, as in the past 17 years, the local community will take part.
