Purpose
Rosewell & District Community Council is a statutory organisation made up entirely of local volunteers who are committed to supporting and representing the people of Rosewell and the surrounding area.
Our purpose is to:
- Provide a strong, independent voice for the local community.
- Represent the views and concerns of residents to Midlothian Council and other public bodies.
- Encourage open discussion about local matters that affect our village.
- Support community wellbeing by helping residents stay informed and involved.
We work to ensure that local decision-makers hear and consider the views of people who live and work in Rosewell.

The Community Council meets in Rosewell on the third Monday of every other month to:
