About us

The Drylaw & Telford Community Council are a group of local residents and elected community councillors. We can act as an intermediatory party between local residents and the local authorities or government bodies to make them aware of the opinions and needs of our community.

The Drylaw & Telford Community Council boundary can be seen on the adjoining map and exists in the ward of Inverleith.

The City of Edinburgh Council have statutory oversight of community councils and are required by statute to consult community councils about planning applications and licencing matters.
