Barr Community Council
Community Councils give local people a real say in matters such as local service delivery and other issues which affect daily lives. The Barr Community Council is constituted and administered through South Ayrshire Council.
South Ayrshire Council expresses its commitment to ‘inclusive democracy’ through the Community Council scheme, stating: “The general purpose of a Community Council is to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the wider views of the entire community within its agreed boundaries. Community Councils will seek to represent and include all sections of their communities. It is the responsibility of a community Council to Satisfy South Ayrshire Council, that they have taken positive steps to ascertain the views of the wider community within their area, before making representations on any matter, on behalf of the community.”
Barr Community Council meetings are normally held in the Barr Village Hall on the second Thursday of the month at 7.00pm. Members of the public are most welcome to attend. Once members have approved the draft minutes as a true record, the minutes are passed to South Ayrshire Council. If you wish to contact the Community Council please address all communications to the Secretary.
