The Community Council is the level of local government in Magherafelt nearest to the people of Castledawson. A parish like Castledawson usually formed around a village or other small community and used to be centred around the Parish Church. In the late 1800s Church and State separated but the same area is now represented as a local authority by the Castledawson Community Council and the Church by the Parochial Church Council.

The Community Councils have many powers and some duties. (Cf. The Good Councillors Guide).

An example of a power is the one that allows the purchase and operation of street lighting. One duty requires the council to open the meetings to the press and public, with few exceptions. They manage local amenities in Castledawson and have a watching brief on local issues and their opinion is noted by those higher authorities in matters concerning them such as local planning issues.
