Community Award: Nominations for the Burntisland Community Awards are open in three categories: Individual Citizen; Group or Team; Young person aged under 25 on 1st January. Forms are downloadabale from this website (Community Awards page) and we will make a few paper forms available at the Toll Hub in the High Street. This is your chance to give someone, or some group, the recognition they deserve.

Burntisland Burgh Chambers: What's going on?! We have discovered that when the building work was done to enable the new Banking Hub, pipework that provided the rest of the building with hot water for the central heating system was removed, leaving the rest of the building without any heating. Some of us met with Fife Council officers and local Fife Councillors on 1st December. We are hoping to find a way to save this beautiful building and bring it up to a better standard for community use. Discussions are ongoing with Trustees of Burntisland Heritage SCIO and Fife Council. In the meantime an advert advertising the building for commercial sale has been removed. While Fife Council work on a solution for the broken heating, they are providing temporary portable heaters to allow us to continue to use the building for our CC meetings and events.

New member: We are pleased to welcome new Community Councillor, Eliza Twaddle, who joined at our public meeting on 18th November.

Christmas Lights: We have bought eight new motif lights for lampposts along the edge of the Links and one at the foot of Cromwell Rd. We are grateful for an LCP grant towards recurring costs from Fife Council. However, our costs are rising and the grant has reduced. We have enough funds for this year but will once again be grateful for the generosity of local people and businesses who help support our Christmas LIghts Fund. The lights are much appreciated by locals and visitors.

The Banking Hub is now open in the old office, ground floor, Burgh Chambers: Please use this new facility - use it or lose it! Staff seem helpful and friendly.

(See tab on the right of this page to download an agenda.) If you would like a topic added to the agenda please use the 'contact us' box.
