Description

Edinburgh’s Corstorphine and Gyle community council is on the brink—down to just two members when it needs six to function. Formed last year after boundary changes, this small council represents 7,000 residents and serves as the vital link between locals and city planning decisions. With key members stepping down and no new volunteers stepping in, the council risks shutting down, severing community voices from city hall and local policing. Veteran local advocate Tommy McLean warns it’s a major loss. A last-chance info session is being held to rally support—because without enough volunteers, this crucial community voice will vanish, echoing a troubling trend in Edinburgh’s neighborhood councils.
