Burntisland Community Council (BCC) was founded in 1975 at the start of the Local Government reform. It has been serving the community of Burntisland ever since. What do we do? Read more about our activities on this website.

BCC can have up to fifteen voting members who are elected every four years. In addition, up to five non-voting members can be co-opted onto the community council, usually for their expertise or interest in a particular issue or area.

Members are all unpaid volunteers and do not represent political parties.

BCC meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month, excluding July, at 7-9pm and are open to the public.

You are welcome to raise issues of concern and contribute to discussions. Our Chairman will advise you how to do so at the  start of the meeting.

The meetings are normally held in the Council Chamber of Burntisland Burgh Chambers. This is a historic, listed building in the town centre, on the High Street. We regret that there is currently no step-free access to this venue. We are holding hybrid meetings by Zoom webinar. Please email the Chair or Secretary if you would like the meeting Zoom access details.

Our Members are:

Isla MacDonald (Chair), Jim Sheridan (Vice Chair), Carol McLeod (Treasurer), Anne Smith (Secretary), Matthew Bradshaw, Tim Hailey, Jonna Lange, Kenneth Littlemore, Alex MacDonald, Kizzy Wapplington.

Co-opted members: None at present

The Community Council meetings are also attended by the elected local government authority (Fife Council) Councillors, the editor (or deputy) of the Burgh Buzz, and occasionally, by our local Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) or local Member of the UK Parliament (MP). Representatives of other community groups and individuals are welcome to attend.

If you are interested in becoming a Community Councillor, and you are on the Electoral Register for Burntisland, please read the information above and contact our Chairman or Secretary for more information. Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council can have up to 15 voting members and an additional 5 co-opted (non-voting) members. Therefore, we can accommodate additional new Community Councillors now.
