Burntisland Highland Games Day is Monday 20th July: The Games event is run by Burntisland Games Committee: https://www.burntislandhighlandgames.co.uk It is the second oldest in Scotland! The summer fair event is run by the Showmen's Guild Scotland: https://showmensguild.co.uk/members/scottish-section/ Any queries on a Games Day Market should be directed to the Showmen's Guild. The Exiles Reception and Parade is organised by the Community Council. 'Exiles' are former residents of Burntisland now living abroad, or at least, outside Fife! Exile guests are invited to attend Burntisland Burgh Chambers at 10.30am on Games Day. The Parade marches off to the Games arena on the Links promptly at 11.45am. Burntisland is very busy on Games Day. Public parking is very limited. If travelling to the Games, please walk or cycle the Fife Coastal path, come by Stagecoach bus (no 7 service), or take the train. The station is only a few minutes walk from the Links and bus stops are by the Links (Porte). Burntisland welcomes responsible visitors. Please contact us if you can volunteer to help manage the road closure barroers for the parade!

July public meeting: In a break with tradition, we will hold a public meeting on 21st July (the day after Games Day) at 60 High Street (BFAST premises) from 7-9pm.

Splash Pad: The refurbished splash pad was officially opened 2nd July and it is proving very popular! It is open for safe water play for children of all ages and abilities 8am to 8pm - jump on the pads to activate. Photo shows children from Burntisland School with Head Teacher Louiser Gordon and Karen Redpath; Fife Councillors (left to right) Julie MacDougall, Ian Cameron, Lesley Backhouse and Kathleen Leslie; and (centre) Eliza Twaddle and Anne Smith of your community council which pushed for the refurbishment and helped fundraise for it. Many thanks to Fife Council, Fife Environmental Trust, our elected representatives, and the school parent council for their support.

Burgh Chambers: Fife Council have allocated £250,000 for a refurbishment including a replacement heating system and improved accessibility.

Rail station step free access: Network Rail have completed a costed feasibility study for step free access to Platform 2 at Burntisland station. We have received this as a redacted version via a Freedom of Information Request. It can be viewed on ourLocal Place Plan page of this website. There is as yet no funding identified for any station improvements at Burntisland. Your CC will meet shortly with Melanie Ward MP to discuss the way forward.

Burntisland Common Good: The Community Council has forwarded its concerns to Fife Council.

Public Community Council Meetings: These are held every 3rd Tuesday of the month. 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.) 

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.

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, if less urgent, reporting via the webform: https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/c3/ In emergency call 999 or 112.
