The role of a community council is important as it co-ordinates and expresses the views of its community to public authorities. Community councils also form part of the Locality Partnerships of North Ayrshire. These agree the priorities for each locality and try to ensure that everyone, public agencies and community work in a co-ordinated way to address priorities
