About us:
Brookfield Community Council, like other Community Councils, is set up under the Scheme for the Establishment of Community Councils, which has been approved by Renfrewshire Council. Brookfield Community Council has its own Constitution, which also has been approved by Renfrewshire Council. Each year the Community Council receives an Administration Grant from Renfrewshire Council to assist with running costs.
Our role:

- To be consulted in relation to planning applications affecting properties in the area and to respond to them.
Members:
In terms of the Scheme, members are elected to serve for a period of four years. The Community Council shall comprise of a minimum of seven members and a maximum of 21 members.
