Lochgelly - You Decide

You Decide Lochgelly

Calling all residents of Lochgelly!
What could YOU do in your village with a share of £15,300?

This money has been set aside from the Local Community Planning Budget for the Area for the benefit of the community. Through a participatory budgeting process, residents of Lochgelly will prioritise what projects could be funded to help the community connect with and support each other.

Residents are being asked to come up with ideas for projects to improve the local community.  It could be an environmental or physical improvement, a community event, a project to raise public awareness or something which makes people feel safer - as long as it brings improvement.
