Chair’s Welcome
Welcome from Liz Easton
I am delighted to have the opportunity to chair the Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board for Methil and Buckhaven.
Having grown up in the area and spent much of my career working alongside local communities, I understand both the challenges and opportunities facing our neighbourhoods.
Pride in Place represents a significant opportunity to invest in the future of Methil and Buckhaven. Through ongoing community engagement and partnership working, we aim to develop a programme of activity that reflects local needs, supports community aspirations and creates lasting positive change.
We look forward to working with residents, community groups, businesses and partners over the coming years as we shape the future of our area together.
