Kinlochbervie community council among fifteen to reform following Highland Council interim elections

Following last month’s announcement of interim elections for fifteen Highland communities, Highland Council has today confirmed that eleven community councils have been formed, uncontested.

Kinlochbervie community council, which has been in abeyance for most of 2022 due to previous members stepping down, now has eight members. Named on the council following today's announcement are Christopher Ambler, Daniel Knaack, Christine MacKenzie, Lawrence Macleod, Margaret Meek, Lynn Munro, Gary Sutherland and John Whyte.

The full list of community councils includes:

• Acharacle Community Council

• Duror & Kentallen Community Council
• Glengarry Community Council
• Kinlochbervie Community Council
• Kinlochleven Community Council
• Morvern Community Council
• Raasay Community Council

Four Community Councils failed to attract half the maximum membership so have not been established, namely:

• Conon Bridge Community Council
• East Nairnshire Community Council
• Shieldaig Community Council
