The 2020 Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 19th November 2020 at 7pm. This will be an online meeting. There will be an opportunity for questions and discussion. Community Councillors should apply to admin@edinburghcommunitycouncils.org.uk.stating your Community Council. If the representative from you CC is already attending please discuss the need for your attendance with them. See the EACC Documents section for further information.
The EACC is a liaison body that supports the 45 community councils currently active in Edinburgh.
The association holds four Executive meetings a year, an annual general meeting and a series of question and answer sessions throughout the year.
These various meetings allow community councillors to network with each other, council officials and other groups outwith their area.
Below you'll find news, events, and links to information and minutes about our meetings and annual general meetings.
To get in touch with us, please go to the Contact EACC page.
This site is a resource for Edinburgh Community Councils. More information is needed from Edinburgh CCs to populate it. Please forward any useful content ideas to comms@edinburghcommunitycouncils.org.uk Thank You.
Minutes and meeting papers can be found under EACC Documents
If your Community Council has a resource that could be useful to other CCs, please let us know.
The purpose of the EACC is that it is an advisory body that is there to help Community Councils with issues that they may be experiencing.
It also acts as a vehicle that brings Community Councils together to discuss common issues and ways of solving them.
Finally and most importantly it allows the City of Edinburgh Council to communicate with one body rather than 45 separate entities.

The City Centre Programme would like your involvement, input and advice in developing and refining the new Public Space Management Plan (PSMP). The PSMP will set out how Edinburgh manages its public outside space for events, filming and festivals. More HERE

The Improvement Service have asked us to make you aware of a new resource that has been published to support community organisations to carry out their vital work safely during the Covid-19 outbreak. The below news item promotes the advice on infection control for community groups. I’d be grateful if you would consider sharing this information with community councils in your area.
A direct link to the resource is available here:
https://www.scdc.org.uk/supporting-communities-safely
The resource is designed to be interactive and they will seek to respond to questions and observations from users and update where appropriate.
We have put together a set of web links to sites like NHS and City of Edinburgh Council which might provide communities with support at this time.
Access these links HERE
City of Edinburgh Council has supplied a comprehensive list of contacts which can be found HERE
Its aim is to provide support, advise and give a collective voice for community councils when facing the challenges community councillors encounter on an almost daily basis. No one person is more important than any other. All community councils have a voice on the EACC!!
