What is going on?
This is an election year for Community Council's in Stirling, which means the current community council stands down and nominations are accepted for a new group of residents to become your community council. Existing members may seek nomination and new members will be welcomed.
​
Riverside Community Council will be reformed if 7-9 community members are nominated. If there are less than seven the council will be no longer be in operation. If more than nine nominations are received a ballot will be held and the community will decide who forms your new community council.
When does this happen?
Stirling Council has published a full timetable with the periods set out for nominations.
This is a great opportunity to get involved and join the team - some current members will not be seeking nomination and new community councillors will be welcomed.
