What support it (a) gives and (b) will give community councils following the winding up of the Association of Scottish Community Councils.

Since 2007 the Scottish Government has worked in partnership with COSLA and the Association of Scottish Community Councils to develop and produce a package of measures to raise the profile, effectiveness, and support of Community Councils throughout Scotland. This included:
A Model Scheme of Establishment of Community Councils;
A Model Code of Conduct for Community Councillors;
Good Practice Guidance for use by both local authorities and Community Councils; and
Five Community Council pilot projects looking at budget management; asset management; and Community Council elections.
Currently, a short life working group is considering how best to build the resilience and capacity of Community Councils, in order to strengthen their role and relevance as voices for their communities. The group is due to report its recommendations later this summer and these proposals will provide a platform for wider discussion and engagement on the future development of Scotland’s Community Councils.
The Scottish Government remains committed to supporting Community Councils to make a full and active contribution to the communities that they represent. Future Scottish Government support will be shaped by the working group’s proposals and wider discussions with others who share this aspiration.
