The Community Council consists of 11 Members who are elected every five years, and represent three wards within the Bridgend area. They are Coity, Litchard and Pendre.
The Community Council employs two part-time staff; a Clerk/Responsible Financial Officer, and an Assistant Clerk.
The Council meets every second Thursday of the month at 7.00 pm at Coity Higher Community Centre, Heol West Plas, with the exception of the month of August.
The Community Council are the closest level of government to the people of a community. The Community Council will work to represent and improve the area in which it serves. The Community Council is granted its power by parliament, it raises its money through taxation (precept) and has the power to dictate how it spends the money.
