Community council set to relaunch in Fife town – if enough people come forward

Following a petition from the community, the Royal Burgh of Pittenweem & District Community Council will be re-established - if enough people come forward.

Locals are now being invited to stand for election. To be eligible, you must aged 16 years or over, live in the Community Council area and be registered to vote.

To re-establish the council, eligible nominations must be received by 4:00pm on Thursday, February 27. If more than 10 nominations are received, an election will take place by postal ballot. Community Councils are made up of people who care about their community and want to make it a better place to live. As well as representing the community, Community Councils help run activities which promote their communities and bring local people together to help make things happen.
