Serving Watts Since 2002
The Watts Neighborhood Council began several years ago as a group of special people chosen by the community to represent the interest of the residents of Watts and connecting those voices to the city council of Los Angeles. This body is our direct link to the governing officials of our city.
The Watts Neighborhood Council consists of ten Area Representatives and 11 At-Large Representatives who are elected or selected by the community to serve you. There are three major committees and 11 minor committees. If you are interested in a particular committee contact your representative via email and post your question/s or request for information.
