Description
Community Council - About Us
The Community Council was formed by the residents in response to a steady disposal of land surrounding Craigmarloch and in a manner that was in contradiction to the town planners original vision.
In September 2002, an advert appeared in the Cumbernauld News inviting the residents of Craigmarloch to stand for a seat on the new community council. as the number of nominations exceeded the number required, an election was called and on 24th October 2002, by way of secret ballot, the Craigmarloch Community Council was born. As a community council our role is to ascertain and express, to local and other public authorities, the views of Craigmarloch residents and take appropriate action that is in their interest, providing that it appears expedient and feasible.
OBJECTIVES - The objectives of the council shall be (A) to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the view of the community which it serves to North Lanarkshire Council concerning matters for which North Lanarkshire Council is responsible; (b) to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the views of the community which it serves to public bodies and industrial concerns which have an affect on the community from an administrative, social or economic point of view; (c) to take such action in the interests of the community which it serves as appears to the Council to be expedient and practicable, and (d) to seek financial support from any source for projects which further the foregoing objectives.
