Ballater & Crathie Community Council

Welcome to our Ballater & Crathie Community Council Page!

As a  Community Council, we ascertain, co-ordinate and express the views of the community we represent to local authorities and other public bodies.  Community Councils were introduced in 1975 when local government was reformed and the former, smaller town councils, were abolished.

All our Council meetings are open to the public, the date for the next one is detailed on our Meetings & Minutes page.  In addition, Minutes, Agendas, Consultations, the list of 2017 BCCC Meeting Dates and other public notices are available in Ballater Library and on the Community Notice Board on the Church Green.

The public are encouraged to attend B&CCC Meetings which are the 2nd Monday in every month or contact any member of the B&CCC with any concerns. Come along to the next meeting and let your local councillors know your opinion on any planning issues, business rates, parking, events or anything that you think Ballater needs.

The Councillors elected on Thursday June 16th 2016 are listed on the table below.
