Today the TSB announced that is planning to close 82 branches across the UK.

“TSB has more than 20 bank branches across Tayside and Fife.” (Courier story)

The actual branches to be shut are due to be announced on Thursday.

The Bank told Burgh.Buzz “The decision to close branches is an incredibly difficult one, but necessary for the long-term sustainability of TSB. We will not announce the locations until late this week, after we have consulted impacted Partners.”

The TSB is Burntisland’s only remain bank and is already only open on Tuesdays and Fridays.

(The RBS mobile bank visits for an hour each week on Mondays.)

The Latest “Big Co-op Payout” cheques have been handed out in Burntisland.

1% of the price of Coop items bought in the two stores is given to the three organisations chosen once a year by staff.

The 5p cost of the (compostable) plastic carrier bags is also added to the money available.

Shortly after Food For Thought’s lease ended, new tenants moved in to start creating a new business.

The work continues. Opening date to be announced.

From their Facebook page –

“Chris lived in Burntisland until the age of 7, he’s been in the hospitality biz for over a decade and truly honed his love for cafe culture during our two years in New Zealand. We moved to Burntisland 2 years ago and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise. Insert The Fix (previously Food For Thought) and he has the perfect opportunity to showcase his love for food and coffee. We can’t wait to share it with you.

“Donna also has over a decade in the hospitality business under her belt, from bars to cafes and restaurants. Her focus is front of house and she loves to ensure people are fed and happy. She even insisted that we cook the canapes for our own wedding. We can’t wait to open the doors to The Fix.”

BT has posted notices in underused phoneboxes inviting comments by the 10th of December.

The red one outside the Library is a classic K6. BT often sells them to local groups for a £1. The Heritage Centre is already thinking about adopting this one. It’s sited here because the next door office below the Burgh Chambers used to be the Post Office.

It seems unlikely that the one in Kinghorn Road will be adopted –

There is also one outside the Coop.
