A Happy New Year to one and all. Hope you had a great Hogmanay

Core Paths. The community council has decided it is an opportune time to resurrect
the Pathways sub-
The Pathways Group now has three remits; (1) to identify all the old pathways in the village, (2) to gain “statement of use” from people who have used the path from Glamis Rd to North Overgate past “Star(“Archway”) Metals” to assert the Right of Way and (3) to start a signage and maintenance programme for pathways contained in the Pathways Booklet. If you would like to assist with defining all the historic Rights of Way in the village and getting these adopted then please join the group. Please contact the secretary. Douglas Gray is the chairman and Rena Wallace its secretary.
John McLeod was working with the school to devise a set of “medallion walks” with prizes from the community council. This also needs taking forward.
Viewpoint. We are moving along with the proposed new viewpoint at Inch View (top of Cemetery steps). We need to finalise the engineering aspects and submit for planning permission. All are welcome to help. If you wish to help please contact the secretary.
War Memorial. The proposal to improve the War Memorial area and produce a “Village Square” is being taken forward through Fife Council with the support of a number of community groups and the community council. Unfortunately the bid for funding from the Scottish Government was unsuccessful and so the groups ned to seek other avenues for funding.
If you want an update on any of these projects please contact the secretary.

When the toilets at the beach have been fully refurbished hopefully now in January, the upper floor will be formed into a community room with panoramic views across the bay.
At various meetings from June to November, the community council facilitated a meeting of interested groups to see if we could agree to uses that could be formed into a Business Case. See the notes of 1st June meeting.
There were lots of good suggestions to take forward, although space is too confined for all of it:
+ observational platform for whale, dolphin and bird-
+ combined with educational instruction/interactive area for children
+ visitor interpretation centre
+ Kinghorn environment centre (geology/ecology/history)
+ craft workshop/art studio/gallery
+ wet weather play area for children
+ community groups meeting place/office, such as for floral enhancement or improvements to Kinghorn.
There could be multi-
The project has remained at the discussion stage for a number of years and it is
a great opportunity to grab it for the community. However, the lease is to be tendered
by Fife Council and will be scored for the greatest community benefit -
Unfortunately it is proving difficult to get a group or partnership going to put in a bid. Fraser Ballantyne (chair, community council) put forward a plea to groups and this is attached, for all to read. I would urge everyone to take an active part in this, we have waited a long time to realise it, whether it is through a group or as an individual.
