Following the nomination process which ran from 9 to 30 January three new community councils have been set up after nomination papers were counted.
There are now new community councils in the areas of Craigmillar, Drylaw Telford and Old Town bringing the number up to 45 across the city.
Councillor Maureen Child, Convener of the Communities and Neighbourhood Committee, said: “This is a great achievement for the communities of Craigmillar, Drylaw Telford and Old Town.
“Community councils support communities to thrive and bring people together to make change happen. I look forward to hearing of the achievements that will follow in these areas.”
