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'.
For Fife Council issues, please contact them directly by telephone or via their website.
Burntisland War Memorial
Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council (BCC) News:
Remembrance Sunday 2026: Thank you to all who attended and contributed to services at Burntisland churches and Burntisland War Memorial on 8th November and thank you to all who contributed to the parade. This year the rain stayed away!
Fireworks & Bonfire: Thank you to all volunteers who provided a safe and spectacular evening on the 4th.
Winter Fair: Our Festive lights display is starting earlier this year. Please support any fundraising events and activities for our Burntisland Christmas Lights. The lights are owned and funded annually by your Community Council with support from Fife Council.
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.
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.)
Contact us by email: Our Secretary will reply to you as soon as possible
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.
