BERNERA COMMUNITY COUNCIL
what we do
The statutory purpose of the Community Council is “to ascertain, co-ordinate and express to the local authorities for its area, and to public authorities, the views of the community which it represents, in relation to matters for which those authorities are responsible, and to take such action in the interests of that community as appears to it to be expedient and practicable.”
More information about the governance of community councils can be found on the Comhairle website.
These are some of the public facilities in Bernera that we currently maintain:
