Be Part of Lochgelly’s Future – Join the ‘Let’s Talk About Lochgelly’ Workshops

Local people are invited to take the next step in shaping the future of Lochgelly by attending a community workshop hosted by Fife Council.

Following last year’s ‘Let’s Talk About Lochgelly’ consultation, which gathered ideas on improving local services, facilities, and community spaces, the focus now is on forming a working group to allow local people to work with the council and turn the consultation recommendations into real improvements for Lochgelly.

We are holding two workshop sessions on Tuesday 20 May 2025 from 5.30pm-8.30pm and Saturday 24 May 2025 from 10am-1pm at Lochgelly Centre to try and give as many people as possible the chance to come along.  At the workshop, residents will have the chance to:

• become part of a working group to lead the development of a Community Action Plan,

• and, discuss what being part of the group will involve – roles, responsibilities, time commitment and next steps.

Cllr Alex Campbell, Cowdenbeath Area Committee Convenor, said: "The consultation showed that people in Lochgelly are passionate about making a difference. But to turn these ideas into action, we need a committed working group to help drive change. These workshops are an important next step, and I’d encourage anyone who wants to get involved in shaping Lochgelly’s future to come along."

If you’re interested in being part of the working group, register by filling out our online form here or visit Lochgelly Centre to complete a paper form. The deadline to register is 11 May 2025.
