The public has a final opportunity to comment on its contents of the Scheme for the Establishment of Community Councils: the document which lays out the boundaries and governance of Clackmannanshire's community councils. Clackmannanshire Council has now initiated the third stage of the public consultation process on the Scheme.
Clackmannanshire Council has considered all the comments received from the public over July and August and has now proposed a new Scheme.
Provost, Councillor Stewart said, "We were encouraged by the quality of the public response to the consultation and have made changes to the content as a result. Now, we are hoping the public will take a final look at the document and let us know that what we have come up with will ensure that our community councils can legitimately and accurately represent them."
The proposed Scheme could eventually mean that the three Alloa community councils will merge into one and that Fishcross will join with Sauchie, while Coalsnaughton and Devonside will join up with Tillicoultry. It also aims to simplify the format of community council elections.
You can make final comments on the Scheme for the Establishment of Community Councils up until the 2nd of November 2011 via Clacksweb or at your local CAP/library.
