Largs for You
Council corner Sample layout — first real digest to follow

Two different councils serve Largs, and a lot of wasted letters come from mixing them up. Largs Community Council is volunteers — residents who meet monthly and put the town's case to the authorities. North Ayrshire Council is the local authority — the elected body that runs bins, roads, schools and planning. This page keeps track of both, and routes the everyday problems to the right front door.

The Community Council digest

These entries show the layout only — none of them is a real decision. The first real digest follows the Community Council's next published minutes.

July · what was decided · who's responsible · what happened to last month's actions
Promenade bins to be upgraded at three hotspots
Action: NAC Streetscene · raised by LCC
In progress
Seafront shelter repainting — volunteer day agreed
Action: LCC amenity group · date to be set
Watching
Station forecourt planting completed
Action: Largs Community Garden
Done

How this digest works: it reports what the published minutes record — what was decided, who took the action, and whether last month's actions happened. The same format for every item and every person, names exactly as the minutes give them, nothing rated and nothing ranked. The minutes themselves are always the official record.

Meetings and how to take part

The next meeting date is being confirmed with the Community Council — it will appear here and on the front page.

Your North Ayrshire councillors

Largs sits in the North Coast ward, which elects 5 councillors — and all 5 represent you. There's no "your" councillor by street or by party: write to any of them, or to all of them.

Roster checked Tuesday 4 August 2026. Party labels can change mid-term — the council's own website is the authoritative record, especially after any election.

Report it right

Most problems have a proper front door, and it's rarely a councillor's inbox. Reported straight to the right desk, a fault gets logged, tracked and fixed sooner. And if the front door fails — that's exactly what your councillors are for.
