In July 2016 Burntisland Community Council launched its Community Action Plan. This highlighted travel and energy as local community priorities.

At the end of 2016 and in early 2017 several meetings were held in Burntisland to introduce the idea of an ambitious plan for a pilot project to reduce energy use in the town, and seek local involvement, interest and comments.

The result was a highly detailed report (see below) which identified many issues and suggested a range of solutions.

Now Changeworks (an organisation which deals with “energy and fuel poverty advice and behaviour change”) is advertising a two year Project Officer job.

Changeworks will be working with Burntisland Community Development Trust and local people to develop and implement parts of the plan. They are currently looking for premises in Burntisland.
