Annan Community Council

Annan Community Council meets on the second Monday of each month in the Downies Wynd meeting Room at 7.30pm

Who are Annan Community Council?

The Community Council has its full quota of 12 members plus 2 young people from Annan Academy, all of whom are anxious to represent all areas of the Town.

Well known to the Annan townspeople, each member is the recipient of complaints regarding local problems. These are aired at the monthly meeting and steps are taken to follow issues through with the aim of resolving problems.

We are informed of events and proposal by many bodies e.g. SEPA, the local council about transport changes etc. and must be given details of all Planning Applications. We aim to be well informed of proposed changes and to inform officials of local opinion.

We are also full members of the Federation of Community Councils in Annandale and Eskdale.

We work closely with Dumfries and Galloway Council, the Area Committee and other community councils in order to act as the go-between, instigator and the adjudicator where necessary.

Some of our Community Involvement:

• Supporting the town Christmas Lights
• Instigators of the Christmas Lights Switch On involving all the local schools
• Introducing flower stands in partnership with Commercial Services
• The Young Citizens Award where Primary 6 and 7 pupils are nominated by their schools for the difference they have made to the school.
• Remembrance Day Services
