ROBINSON CRUSOE CAUGHT SHORT!
There
are growing fears that the main public toilet
facilities at the temple car park in Lower Largo may
become a casualty of the proposed budget cuts of
Fife Council.
Community
Council Chairman, Peter Aitken states,“We
have been trying for years to have a public toilet
facility at the Temple car park in Lower Largo
upgraded to include a disabled
WC.

“The
public toilet facility at the temple car park is not
just a WC it is an integral tourist facility as
thousands of tourists come to Lower Largo each year
boosting the local community.
“The
WC facility is used by tourists, walkers from the
Fife Coastal Path and families from the beach and
the loss of this facility would be yet a further
blow to
Fife tourism and the local economy. Fife Council
propose to ask local businesses to allow members of
the public access to their toilet facilities but
this is no substitute for a proper purpose
built facility in the proper location which is the
beach at Lower Largo."
Durham Wynd Planning Setback
The Scottish Government's Reporter has over-ruled
the choice of the Levenmouth Area Committee to
spread the development across Upper Largo, Lower
Largo and Lundin Links. The Reporter has re-instated
the plan to build 60 houses on the Durham Wynd site.
Plans to demolish the Lundin Links Hotel
Mr. Martin White, owner of the hotel, is
applying for planning permission to demolish the
hotel and replace it with a pub restaurant and
sheltered housing complex if the trading position
does not improve in the nest couple of years.

of St John, who held a carol service in St David’s
Church, .

Traffic Calming
Fife Council have blanket authorisation for 20mph
zones around schools and it was suggested that
Pitcruvie Park and Emsdorf Crescent are changed for
the start of the autumn term.
There are also plans to monitor a wider zone
for traffic volume and speed, including, Drummochy
Road, Emsdorf Road, Emsdorf Street and Harbour Wynd.
This zone
includes the main walking routes to school.
Any measures taken to make it safer and encourage
more children to walk to school would be welcome.
Massney Braes Clean-Up
The community litter picking event will go ahead on
the 21st of April at Massney Braes.
Details will be put up in local shops.

Earlier, the meeting heard concerns about the state
of the harbour pier. The owner of the pier and the
Crusoe Hotel cancelled his appearance at short
notice. Boat Club members and residents were
concerned that damage to the pier would threaten
waterside homes in future storms.
