Become a New Town & Broughton community councillor!

(based on this original PDF)

New Town and Broughton Community Council (NTBCC) is the local community representative body established by law.

NTBCC represents an area from the First New Town area of George, Princes and Queen Streets as far north as Powderhall, and from the Moray Feu in the west to Calton Hill in the east — an area with a population of around 18,000.

NTBCC deals with a wide variety of matters of concern to local residents such as transport, road traffic management, development applications, licencing, refuse collections and street cleaning, and environmental matters such as noise problems, air and water pollution and flooding, along with the general state of the public realm. The Community Council covers an area within the World Heritage Site and the New Town Conservation Areas, and therefore has a major interest in heritage and conservation matters.

Like other community councils, every four years people are appointed to sit on the NTBCC as community councillors.

This is early notice that the City of Edinburgh Council, who run the appointment process, intends to seek nominations from people who would like to stand to be a community councillor with a closing date of 27 February 2025.

NTBCC has a maximum number of 24 members consisting of up to 16 elected and co-opted members along with 8 nominated representative members of local interest groups, usually residents associations. If there are more nominations than spaces available, an election will be held on 27 March 2025.

For NTBCC to continue to be an effective representative body, we need to continue to have a range of community councillors who can bring different knowledge, skills and experience – as well as enthusiasm and commitment – to bear on matters of concern to local people.

We meet every month currently alternating between in-person and on-line.

Peter Williamson, Chair NTBCC
