Your Community Council
Newtonhill is a coastal village situated approximately twelve miles south of Aberdeen in the historic region of Kincardineshire. The population of Newtonhill is now over 3000 and is growing. Muchalls, a much smaller village, is just south of Newtonhill whilst Cammachmore is situated to the north of Newtonhill.
The role of the community council is to represent the views of the local community.
Members of the public are always welcome to come along to any of our meetings. There are currently a couple of vacancies for residents of Newtonhill to join the Community Council. If you are interested in getting involved in local matters or you just want to know what is going on, then you would be most welcome to join us.

Annual General Meeting
The 35th annual general meeting of the Newtonhill, Muchalls & Cammachmore Community Council was held at Newtonhill Primary School on 21st March. Rhoda Nelson, chairperson, thanked the community councillors for another very eventful and successful year. Mrs Nelson outlined the involvement of the community council in the process of commenting on proposals for the development at Chapelton of Elsick and the wider implications of the Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan. The community council also responded to consultations on the Main Issues report for the Strategic Development Plan; Rail Transport in Scotland and the revision of Maternity Services in Grampian.
‘Making it Real’, held in June of 2011, updated residents on the progress made on matters raised at ‘Planning for Real’ that took place in 2009. The resulting Community Action Plan has been published and a number of actions have already been tackled. We are now looking forward to the installation of new zebra crossing on Newtonhill Road. The community council are currently in the process of consulting the residents of Cammachmore on their own Community Action Plan.
Rhoda Nelson has been re-elected as chairperson, Michael Morgan remains as vice-chair, Edith Stephen as secretary and Bruce Anderson as treasurer.
