As well as seeking to deliver services effectively, members are also elected to represent the needs of the Highlands to government at Holyrood, Westminster and Brussels  with the aim of securing Government policy which increasingly reflects the distinct needs of the Highlands.

As part of this role the Council monitors political and parliamentary activities in Scotland, the UK and in Europe through the preparation of a weekly briefing which highlights the main developments taking place that week.
