Serving Dyce village, Stoneywood and the surrounding areas
in the City of Aberdeen, Scotland
Welcome to the web pages of the Dyce and Stoneywood Community Council (formerly known as the West Don Community Council). We are a group of unpaid, elected citizens working together to make Dyce and Stoneywood a better place in which to live and work. We are concerned witth many things: planning applications, policing and crime reduction, traffic and the environment to name but a few.* We work closely with our local Councillors, the Police, and local government officials.We receive a small sum from the City each year to spend on projects that benefit the community. Recent grants have helped provide Christmas lights on Victoria Street and supported the Dyce Garden Club.
We meet every six weeks. Our meetings are open to public and press and usually take place at Dyce Community Centre on a Wednesday night at 7:30pm. There are presently vacancies on the Council. If you would like to know more about becoming a Community Councillor, please contact us. You must be a resident of Dyce or Stoneywood and your name should appear on the electoral roll (we can also accept under-18s for membership in certain cases). No special knowledge of local government is needed - just a commitment to improve the quality of life in our community!
We are here to represent and serve you. If you have any problems, comments or questions, please let us know.
