for residents and visitors alike.

Core Paths.  In January, the community council has decided it is an opportune time to resurrect the Pathways sub-group which has not been active for a few years.  Its main purpose had been to assist the Fife Access Forum in devising a Core Path network.  The final proposals will be coming back for final comment in the next few months.  It is not expected that there will be any problems as we have been very closely involved all along.

The Community Council Pathways Group is really getting active and dealing with:

(1) the protection of up to 50 paths in Kinghorn,

(2) Improving and keeping Rodan Braes pathway to the “Witches Cottage” open all year around (see above),

(3) The maintenance and signposting of our pathways network,

(4) Developing new and improving pathways.

If you would like to be involved email Secretary.now has the remits given in the boxes above.  Please contact the secretary.  Douglas Gray is the chairman and Rena Wallace its secretary.

Viewpoint.  We are moving along with the proposed new viewpoint at Inch View (top of Cemetery steps).  We have the funding in place (£57000) and planning permission is being sought.  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 need to seek other avenues for funding.  This is ongoing.

If you want an update on any of these projects please contact the secretary.

New and improved pathways

Views of Edinburgh and the Pentland Hills across the Firth of Forth from the improved Rodanbraes pathway.

Can you give some time to help the work party.

See the attached poster for details of how the Club works and how it helps our Community Centre.

I am sure that everyone has noticed the lovely floral displays that have appeared in Kinghorn over the last few months.  The colour co-ordinated boat outside the Julian Hall, the beautiful bright begonias around the War Memorial and the colourful hanging baskets in the High Street.  The community council would wish to express a big thank you to Kinghorn in Bloom, their helpers and all those involved in the floral displays.

Perhaps the water bowser, obtained this year, has not be quite so needed in July.  The weather has been a wetter than previously but the colourful flowers keep the spirits up when the skies are grey.

Next up will be the Village Show on 4th September. We wish everyone involved in the organisation of the show the best of success and trust the village flowers will keep looking luscious for judging for the Beautiful Fife awards.
