Community Council elections, as mandated by South Lanarkshire Council, are held on a three year cycle, falling on October 2008.  This meant that the existing councillors had to retire.

The announcement of an election was posted in the local press in September 2008 and an independent returning officer appointed - Douglas Walsh, Session Clerk of the Parish Church.

As at closing date six nominations had been received for the six elected positions so there was no need for an election.  An inaugural meeting was convened by Douglas Walsh on 30 October to confirm the six new councillors.  They are Jane Armstrong, Mairi Boyd, Jim Macintyre, David McColl, Liz Montgomery and Brigid Nugent.

A further three 'nominated' positions are required where the elected members decide which organisations should be approached.  To date Jean Veitch from the Old Parish Church and Jeff Frew from Nethan and Logan Residents Association have been appointed.
