High Street development aspirations: Representatives from SANSEC Developments attended our September CC public meeting to outline their proposals for the Evolve site. See the minutes for more details. The photo is from a PowerPoint slide that they shared in their presentation.

Temporary closure of the A921 between Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy is scheduled for 9-3 daily from 21st September to 8th October for resurfacing. This is likely to cause big problems. The diversion is via the A909 and the A92...

Local pharmacy: We have requested clarification from NHS Fife on the future of our local pharmacy.

Burgh Chambers: As the Burgh Chambers is temporarily closed for renovations, we are holding our public meetings elsewhere. Please note that our meetings will be at 60 High Street (the old police station, now BFAST centre.) Fife Council have allocated funding for a refurbishment including a replacement heating system and improved accessibility. The building is likely to be out of community use until June 2027.

Burntisland Common Good: The Community Council forwarded its concerns to Fife Council at the start of the year. The local Community Manager has told us that grants to community groups from the Fund are temporarily paused. She agreed to attend a CC meeting in September but has now postponed this to October. Meantime, our refreshed Common Good Apllications Police is now on our website (back page - governance.)

Summer fair: We will seek to engage with Fife Council on what went well and what could be improved for next summer. Public toilet facilities and parking and vehicle movements on the Links are on our agenda.

Beacon Leisure Centre and Changing Places Toilets: We are seeking more information on reported reductions in services at the Beacon. We are pleased to report that Fife Sports and Lesiure Trust CEO is looking at a proper Changing Places Toilet facility at its next refurbishment. We do not yet have any details on timescales.

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 our Local Place Plan page of this website. There is as yet no funding identified for any station improvements at Burntisland. The CC station subgroup had a useful meeting with Melanie Ward MP on 24th July to discuss the way forward. She provided us with the redacted costs of the various options and will seek potential funding avenues. She will release her community survey on the station access in the autumn after Parliament has resumed.

Scottish Water promised us an autumn update on what they can/will do to prevent recurrent surface water flooding in the Haugh Rd/Kirkton Rd area. To be confirmed!

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.
