Lochgelly Community Council
By Industry We Flourish
Lochgelly Community Council is a voluntary organisation set up by statute under the Local Authority and run by residents to act on behalf of our area. As the most local tier of elected representation, Community Councils play an important role in local democracy.
Lochgelly Community Council is comprised of people who care about their community and want to make it a better place to live. We are volunteers, although democratically elected, our main purpose is to represent the views of our local community to the local authority and other public bodies.
We undertake numerous activities that benefit the general interest of the Town, including safeguarding and enhancing the amenities and environment in the area. Community Councils can also act as a campaigning body in raising awareness of specific local issues.
Community Councils are the most local tier of statutory representation in Scotland. They bridge the gap between local authorities and communities, and help to make public bodies aware of the opinions and needs of the communities they represent.
We are currently campaigning and working on several projects across the town, including:
- A New Health Centre
- Improving access and facilities in our Public Park
- Planning and Infrastructure in Lochgelly
- Proposed 20 Mph Changes in Lochgelly
- Proposed Sale of Common Good Land in Lochgelly Public Park
- Campaign to Maintain the 2 Fire Appliances and Crews at Lochgelly Fire Station
- Working to get better Community Use buildings & resources for Lochgelly
- Protecting part of the Public Park from being used by Hall Street Developers for a Drainage & Suds Pond
