This site exists for the purpose of providing information on the Yell Community Council. Here you can find out about our island, our community council and its members as well as an archive of minutes from meetings past and present.

Yell Community Council (YCC) is funded by Shetland Islands Council (SIC) and currently has eight active members: 3 each for North and Mid Yell and South Yell currently has two. YCC meet regularly on the third Monday of the month in the Mid Yell School at 7pm and in the West Sandwick Hall during school holidays (unless advertised otherwise).  Meeting dates are listed under Events.

YCC receive an annual allocation of funds which is distributed to local community groups for projects and the upkeep of roads to permanently occupied houses.  Due to SIC funding restrainst, the CC budgets throughout Shetland have been significantly reduced for this financial year and YCC are sorry to say they will now be working with more limited resources for funding of local projects and private roads.

In addition to many other things that YCC pursues, the general purpose of the Community Council is to promote the well-being of the community in the Yell Ward by getting to know, co-ordinating and expressing to Shetland Islands Council and the relevant public authorities, the views of the community, in relation to the matters those authorities are responsible for. YCC can then take action in the interests of the community as appears to it to be appropriate and practicable.

Yell Community Council monthly meetings are open for public gallery and regularly have invited visitors regarding matters on the agenda.  Please do not hesitate to contact YCC clerk or member for your area on any CC business ..... details as per links.
