Community councils across Glasgow are required to hold elections every 4 years. Dennistoun Community Council’s next election date is Tuesday 14th October 2014 and there are 17 vacancies.
All current members are required to stand down (although members may decide to stand for re-election for a further 4 years).
Community Councillors have a role to bridge the gap between local authorities and communities and to highlight the opinions, needs and preferences of the communities they represent. Browse around the site to get a feel for what we do, or contact us if you have any questions.
The applicable geographical area can be viewed on our locality page.
