Working For Our Community

Community Councils are voluntary organisations for their local area and are independent of Fife Council.  There are 105 Community Councils in Fife. They express the views and concerns of local people, bridging the gap between communities and the local authority.  They meet regularly in public. Local residents are encouraged to attend.

Dysart Community Council

We are a group of Dysart community residents, dedicated to helping and improving the area in which we all live.  We hold monthly meetings to discuss any issues that may need attention. We work alongside Fife Council to inform them what is happening in the area and what needs to be done.

It consists of three elected community councillors, together with the local councillors in attendance.  We are organised in line with the "standing orders" for community councils prepared by Fife Council - https://www.fife.gov.uk/__data/assets/word_doc/0025/162745/Model-Standing-Orders-2006.doc

Minutes from each meeting are available on this website.  Look for the link next to the meeting date on either the Event Listing or Regular Activity pages.

The community councillors are elected each year at an annual general meeting.  Currently as of April 2025, we have George Strang as interim Chair. 

The three community councillors are supported by resident sub-groups, including:

• Fundraising
• Planting
• Play Park Development
• etc

If you are interested in contributing to any of these sub-groups, you are very welcome to get in touch.

Fife Council also attend the Dysart Community Council meetings, and support us with liaison to their local authority colleagues:

- Clr Ian Cameron - Contact Details

- Clr Rod Cavanagh - Contact Details

- Lyn Winters (community liaison) - LinkedIn

Joining your local community council can be very rewarding and can make a big difference for the benefit of others.  There are different ways to get involved in your local Community Council:

• become a Community Council member
• attend your Community Council's regular public meetings
• visit the Community Council’s social media/website
• contact your local Community Council directly

We need your enthusiasm, ideas, comments and complaints to ensure local involvement in shaping the future of the The Royal Burgh of Dysart.
