Milnathort Information www.kinross.cc
Milnathort Community Council was set up following the introduction of The Local Government Scotland Act, 1973.

The purpose of the Community Council is to promote the well-being of the community residents in the area; to initiate and co-ordinate social activity in the community; help and encourage projects for the benefits of the residents; to ascertain, liaise and express to the local authority, and to public authorities, the views of that community in relation to matters of which these authorities are responsible and to take such action as appears in the interest for that community.

The Community Council, which is non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion, represents Milnathort and its surrounding area. It is a democratically elected body, made up of eight members of the local community (from a range of different backgrounds and with diverse experience). It is currently chaired by Mr. J. Giacopazzi.

The Community Council meets at 7.30pm on the second Thursday of the month, either in Milnathort Town Hall or the Primary School. Confirmation of location appears in the Kinross Newsletter. These meetings are open to all members of the community; an open session takes place at each meeting, when everyone is encouraged to give their views on local issues and/or ask questions. Our Perth & Kinross Councillor, Mr. W. Robertson is usually in attendance, as is a representative from Tayside Police.
