You Decide (Participatory Budgeting):  The winners have been announced! See: https://our.fife.scot/getinvolved/pb/kirkcaldy-you-decide/kirkcaldy-area-you-decide-winners

Local Burntisland winners include: The Big Green Market £4,400 for Repair Cafe ; Burntisland Heritage £15,000 for the Burgh Chambers complex renovation project; Burntisland Community Development Trust £700 for Community Suppers; Burntisland Hedgehog Haven £1,500 to better equip premises; Burntisland Highland Games Committee £669;  Burntisland Primary School Parent Council £15,000 for Playground for Growth, Building a Better Future; Central Burntisland Tenants and Residents Association £4,500 for Making Burntisland Beautiful project - We think it's already beautiful! This You Decide is a Fife Council initiative to give the public an opportunity to vote for local community groups to compete for a share of £300,000 in the Kirkcaldy area. Kinghorn winners were whale watching and children's library provision. There were other worthy winners over the Kirkcaldy area. Inevitably some good projects lost out. Similar initiatives are rolled out throughout Fife.

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. Burntisland Common Good Fund will contribute £59,000 and Scottish Government £70,000, with the rest (£150,000) contributed by Fife Council .

New Chair and Community Councillor: Our new Chair is Isla MacDonald (no relation to our previous Chair, Alex MacDonald!) We also have a new Community Councillor in Matthew Bradshaw. We are sorry that Gemma Craigie-Sharland, has had to step down due to personal reasons. Gemma is hopeful of rejoining the CC at a later date. We thank her for all her contributions in the short time that she's been a key effective part of our team. We still have a few vacancies for anyone who'd like to volunteer to join our Community Council.

Cash Access UK Banking Hub: The Banking Hub has now opened in temporary premises at 60 High Street (the old police station) until the old office on the ground floor of the Burgh Chambers, High Street, is ready for use. Services are available Monday to Friday 9-5. These include usual counter services (pay ins, cash deposits, PINs etc.) and private services with a community banker on a rotational basis.

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.)
