Politics

Burntisland once had its own Town Council (until 1976 when it was succeeded by Kirkcaldy District Council), further reorganisation in 1996 resulted in the creation of Fife Council. Burntisland is part of Burntisland, Kinghorn and Western Kirkcaldy ward and has three councillors.

The Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council exists “to give local people a voice in the decisions taken by local authorities and other public bodies”.

It is also involved in many activities and projects. A recent list –

Refurbishment of The War Memorial
Regular consultation with Police Scotland
Organising Beach Clean-ups
Anti litter and Dog Fouling Campaign
Installation of Points for dog scoops and bags
New Piay Equipment on The Links
