What is a Community Council
Community Councils were set up by Aberdeenshire Council in to
consult with the local community and make known to the local
authority and other public bodies the views of local people
on all matters affecting them.
The local authority, in turn has a duty to consult community
council on how local services are delivered and other issues
affecting our neighbourhood.
What Area Do we Cover?
FWCC essentially covers the geographic area to the west and south
west of Banchory and serves the communities of Auchattie, Inchmarlo, S
trachan and Tilquillie. The area covered by FWCC is shown in the map below.
The population of the FWCC area is currently estimated to be about
1300 persons.
FWCC has the right to be consulted on any planning applications in
our area and are kept informed about licensing applications.
Members of the general public are invited to attend our meetings
to express the views of the community and bring any issues to the attention of FWCC.
Local Aberdeenshire Councillors also attend the FWCC meetings.
Remember its important that the views and needs of the community are
conveyed to Aberdeenshire Council, so come along to our meetings and express your views.
Please contact any of the community councillors if there is any issue you
would like to discuss or have brought to the attention of the Community Council.
