Fife Council Pavement Parking Ban.
Fife Council is pushing ahead with implementation of the Scootish Government's Law which bans pavement/verge parking.
We understand that this will be enforced across Fife from 1 September 2025, with 'educational' warning notices being issued from 1 July 2025.
It is clear that whilst the intentions of this new law are good for pedestrians, it will have huge knock-on effects in terms of residents parking, roadway accessibility for all road users, including emergency vehicles, etc.
If you have any views on this matter then please let your elected members know as soon as possible. Email them at fife.cllrs@bellyeomancc.org.uk.
Please read Fife Councils latest information on this matter here.

New Coat of Arms for the City of Dunfermline
The old Coat of Arms (left) was last used widely by Dunfermline District Council and then was transferred to Central Dunfermline Community Council, who use it today.
The new Coat of Arms has some basis in the original but has been updated and is fitting for Scotland's newest 8th, and arguably 1st, City.
The presentation was made on 28 August 2024 to Provost, Cllr Jim Leishman by Dr Joseph John Morrow CVO CBE QC LLD DL FRSE, The Right Honourable the Lord Lyon King of Arms.

Sink Hole - Bellyeoman Community Woodland
C.Cllr Graeme Whyte spotted that a sink hole had developed in the Community Woodland when out walking during lockdown on 4 May 2020. This was reported to Fife Council, who in turn passed it to the Coal Authority. In the meantime, the Coal Authority have filled in the sink hole and it is now fenced off. The Community Council is endeavouring to find out more information about the hole and the stability of the rest of the Woodland.
The two photos below show the before and after pictures of the sink hole site. The sink hole site is located here.

Kingseat Bridge Crack:
The Community Council was alerted at their November meeting to defects spotted on the Kingseat Road bridge which crosses the old Townhill railway track. Cllr Gavin Ellis took this matter up with colleagues at Fife Council and an engineer's inspection was carried out the next day. We are pleased to report that Fife Council are satisfied that the defect is superficial and they have previously noted this when routinely inspecting the bridge.
These types of defect can occur when uneven settlement occurs but as long as they are superficial in nature then they pose no threat to road users or pedestrians.
Community Council Secretary, Graeme Whyte, said "It was reassuring that this matter had been acted upon so quickly and with such a positive outcome. We thank the engineers at Fife Council and Cllr Ellis for acting so quickly on this matter."

The Community Council continues to receive ongoing reports of selfish owners not clearing up after their dogs. This problem affects all areas. As the evenings draw in, some owners seem to think that they do not need to pick up in the dark. Let's be extra vigilant and catch these selfish people who would allow our public areas to be filthy Other problems reported include owners hanging poo bags in bushes and trees! If you know the identity of the culprits then please let us know.
Safer Communities Officers are responsible for dealing with Dog Fouling Complaints. More
