Welcome to the Lenzie Community Council website. The aim of this site is to provide an information channel between the Council and the community. The event calendar will tell you of upcoming events organised by the Council, or by other organisations when they tell us (all dates highlighted in grey). You can find Council Minutes, which will give you a blow-by-blow account of deliberations. Topics of special or current interest are covered in individual posts as they arise. The Links page takes you to external websites where there are items of interest. You can send us comments using the ‘contact us’ form. And, finally, go to the ‘archive’ (under Event Calendar) to check older items that have been displaced by newer posts.
With less than six weeks to go, preparations are well in hand for this year’s “Jubilee” Gala on Saturday 2 June at Lenzie Rugby Club. But don’t panic – there’s still plenty of time to get involved. It only costs £10 for the afternoon to take a space to promote your charity or business so if you feel like giving it a try, call Liz Ibbotson, our Gala Convenor on 07771 608979, or email liz.ibbotson@ntlworld.com
As usual the Gala will be jam packed with loads of fun for all the family so make sure you get the date in your diary NOW. This year is the 33rd Lenzie Gala and joining us on the day will be our very first Gala Queen Heather Findlay (nee Ross) to crown our 2012 Gala Queen.
This year, we are very grateful to the Woodilee Housebuilders for their financial support for this year’s Gala and we would also like to thank East Dunbartonshire Council for their contribution from this year’s Community Grant Fund.

The consultation on De-criminalised Parking Enforcement proposals put forward by East Dunbartonshire Council closed on 30th March. Responses to the consultation will take some time to be analysed. After that, more detailed designs for specific streets will be brought forward and further consultations will take place. Lenzie Community Council has submitted a response to the process which you can read by clicking Parkresponse
