About Us

Working with the community

The community council works closely with Conwy County Council representing the interests of the Dolgarrog community concerning issues such as planning, highways, community safety, street lighting, playing fields, community centres, litter, war memorials, seats, shelters and rights of way.

Who can become a Dolgarrog and area Community Councillor?

Community council seats are awarded either through election or by co-option. Co-option is when the council chooses from a list of volunteers if there are not enough candidates at election time or the electorate does not call for an election when a seat falls vacant.

Community councillors can represent a political party or be politically independent. For further information, see paragraph 1.5, 1.6 - 1.14 and 1.15 of the Electoral Commission Guidance.
