The Community of Monkton have petitioned South Ayrshire Council to establish a Community Council in their village.
If you reside in Monkton and would like to put your name forward to become a member, nomination forms can be located in the Post Office, Church Café, Community Hall, School and Local Shop, or can be downloaded.
Nominees must be aged 18 or over before 5th July 2018 and be registered to vote.
Community Councils are an important part of South Ayrshire’s community. They confirm the Government’s commitment to an inclusive democracy which involves local people in the decisions made by their local authorities. This is your opportunity to be part of this democratic process.

For further information please contact Marie Welsh 01292 612622 or Email CommunityCouncils@south-ayrshire.gov.uk.
Community Council elections follow a three year cycle. In 2016 a full election process took place for South Ayrshire Community Councils, whereby existing Community Councillors stepped down and new members had the opportunity to take up office.
At the full elections an additional Community Council was established in Minishant, and during the year 2017/18 a further Community Council was established in Tarbolton which takes the current number of active Community Councils to 27.
Two Annual By-Elections have taken place in Feb/March 2017 and Feb/March 2018 to fill vacancies. The results of all Community Council Elections for the current term are shown below. Full elections will take place again in early 2019.
