"Community councils do not have statutory duties or powers: they are intended to act as a voice for their local community, representing the views of the community to local authorities and other public bodies operating in their area and otherwise to act to further the interests of their communities. They are essentially voluntary bodies established within a statutory framework. Community councils are bound only by the constitutions they adopt and are therefore able to take on a wide-ranging role, complementary to that of local authorities. They do not have the power to levy rates, but are able to undertake voluntary fund raising activities on their own behalf and to receive grants from local authorities as well as being eligible to apply for any Government grants which are appropriate to their activities."

The Culter Courier is published four times a year by the Community Council. The Courier contains a selection of articles of local concern -and details of groups and organisations in the area.
