Welcome to Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council
Community Councillors are volunteers working to help make Burntisland a better place by reflecting community views to Fife Council and others. See page 2 for more details on our work: 'About us'
Fife Council: Please contact Fife Council directly about any issues you have on their areas of responsibility. The Fife Council website https://www.fife.gov.uk/ has a lot of information and easy to use features for members of the public to report issues that don’t require the intervention of a Fife Councillor or a Community Council member.
Councillors: Our three local elected Fife Councillors for Ward 9 are: Cllr Lesley Backhouse, Cllr Kathleen Leslie, and Cllr Julie MacDougall. Their contact details are at: https://www.fife.gov.uk/kb/docs/articles/about-your-council2/politicians-and-committees/your-local-councillors/councillor/burntisland,-kinghorn-and-western-kirkcaldy
Your Community Council works with all our elected members, especially our local Fife Councillors, and we remain a non-party political organisation.
Anti-social behaviour: If a crime may be taking place please inform the police as soon as possible by calling 101 or reporting via the webform: https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/c3/ In emergency call 999 or 112.

Christmas Lights: All the town centre Christmas Lights are owned by the Community Council and have been bought gradually over the years. This year we 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. We are also grateful for the generosity of local people and businesses who help support our Christmas LIghts Fund.
Public Community Council Meetings: These are held every 3rd Tuesday of the month (except July when there is no meeting). The meeting draft agendas are posted on this website during the week prior to the meeting. (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. You can also raise a topic at the start of the meeting but it will depend on time constraints if it can be included at that meeting. The meeting draft Minutes are posted on this website usually by the Tuesday following the meeting (see Minutes page on this website to access all recent minutes.)
