Menstrie Community Council
What is the Community Council ?
Community Councils are the first level of elected representation in local government. They provide a fairly informal forum for discussing and resolving local issues raised by residents on one hand and regional officials on the other. We meet on the second Tuesday of every month in the Library in the Dumyat Centre at 7 pm. Anyone from the Menstrie area is very welcome to attend.
