Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council (BCC) News:
Community Action Plan annual review is underway. Look out for us at the Big Green Market and Civic Week in June. An online survey is available at: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAANAATvnn0lUMzEwRE5NTUo3TFFXRkFKMFUxMklUSUhQUC4u&route=shorturl

BiFab Shed: This landmark at the west docks will soon be only a memory. Forth Ports has a contractor on site to demolish the damaged old BiFab shed at the west docks.
Temporary Road Closure from B9157 junction at Bernard's Smiddy to Beverkae roundabout: June 16th to July 18th to complete works to clear the rockfall that has necessitated a temporary one way system for almost six months. A diversion via Aberdour and Crossgates will be in operation during this temporary closure.

East Links Splash Pad: We are delighted to say that after three years of waiting, we finally have a committment from Fife Council to press ahead with a refurbishment of this ever popular wet play facility! It's to be a similar wet facility to the old one that's now at the end of its life and broken - though the final design is not yet known. Work should start this year and hopefully it'll be ready for summer 2026. The estimated cost is £312,000. A crowd funder has already successfully raised over £3,000 - You Did It! The CC has submitted an application for a £30,000 grant to Fife Environmental Trust. Unfortunately the grant application will not now be assessed until 15th July. Burntisland Common Good Fund will contribute £59,000 and Scottish Government £70,000, with the rest (£150,000) contributed by Fife Council .
New Community Councillor: We are pleased to welcome another new Community Councillor: Lynne Worthington. Lynne is particularly interested in facilities for children and improving access at the rail station. We await an update from Melanie Ward MP on the station access issues.
Public Community Council Meetings: These are now held every 3rd Tuesday of the month (except July when there is no meeting). This is a change from the 2nd Friday of the month. We are running hybrid meetings using Zoom. If you are unable to attend our meeting in person and would like to join by Zoom, please contact us for the Zoom link - you can do so by emailing our Secretary. Meetings are usually held in the old Council Chamber of Burntisland Burgh Chambers in the HIgh Street, next to the Library.
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.)
