New changing facilities planned for football teams at Fife venue
New changing facilities are on the cards for football teams in Fife.
A planning application to put two portable cabins at the Toll Centre in Burntisland has been lodged with Fife Council.
They would be located to the rear of the building an under-utilised ground.
If given approval, the facilities will be operated in a formal partnership between the community centre and Burntisland United Amateur Football Club.
That would give the club dedicated changing facilities for teams on match days and training nights, and they will also be used by the centre on a daily basis to host and expand its scheduled activities for children, adults, and elderly groups.
A supporting statement said: “This additional space is vital for enhancing our service delivery to the local community, particularly during peak times when the main centre rooms are fully occupied. The space will also be made available for community hire, creating a sustainable income stream to support local initiatives and encouraging the development of new youth football teams in the town.” It added that the cabins would “integrate seamlessly with the existing community centre use and will be finished and maintained to a standard appropriate for the area.”
It said: “The proposed development represents a significant asset for Burntisland, optimising underutilised land to foster health, wellbeing, and sport.” Councillors will consider the application in due course.
