Burntisland Harbour Access Trust Gains Successful Application for Future Community Interest Purchase for Historic Harbour

Lodged by David Torrance (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Burntisland Harbour Access Trust on its recent successful application in registering a community interest for the land in and around Burntisland harbour; understands that the community now has first refusal on both the Forth Ports and Network Rail areas of the East Dock; acknowledges the trust for retaining community access to the East Dock breakwater, western peninsula (Shanks Pier) and the north quay; understands that any sale of the East Dock to any other party is now blocked and may open the way to a compulsory purchase, and commends the people of Burntisland for their passion and dedication to save what it believes is an important space that contributes to local health and well-being as well an important area for many outdoor pursuits such as dog walking, rambling, fishing, bird watching, and water sports.
