Fife Council is calling for local people to become involved in the creation of a development plan for the Kirkcaldy area.

A consultation is open to everyone in the area, covering Kinghorn, Burntisland and Auchtertool, and runs until the end of August.

Cllr Neil Crooks, Chair of the council's Kirkcaldy Area Committe, said: "I'm very proud of Kirkcaldy and the surrounding area. It's a great place to live, work and visit but there is still a gap in our society between those who have and those who don't.


"We are working hard to close that gap but we need help from our partners and our communities to make that happen and create a fairer Fife for everyone.

"What would make a difference? This is your opportunity to influence what goes on in your area – the more information and ideas we get from local people, the better."

A form can be picked up from any community centre or library or accessed online via a questionnaire.

All views gathered will help develop a new plan for the area and a report on progress will be discussed at a meeting of the Kirkcaldy Area Committee in October.
