What is community?
Well, simply put it is a body of people living in the same locality. As such it covers the vast diversity of cultures, belief groups, sexes and ages and allows for our shared interests and a sense of place.
It has been said if you want change - live a long time, but connection produces people power and a belief in each other changes everything.
RUG believes that Local Authorities have a responsibility to be representative democratic organizations and that residents should reasonably expect elected representatives to serve the needs and wishes of their local community.
