Recognising Tom Courts Butcher for Receiving the Annual Burntisland Community Award

Lodged by Claire Baker (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises butcher Tom Courts for receiving the annual Burntisland Community Award from the Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council; believes that the Burntisland butcher helped revive Burntisland High Street, in Fife, and that, in the years since Tom's wife and co-director, Norah, opened the shop in September 2015, others have followed and the Fife town centre has thrived; considers that Tom Courts Quality Foods has been among the first of a string of quality, independent traders to show confidence in the seaside community and breathe new life into it and this vision, and that Tom’s personal contribution to local causes has earned him the annual Burntisland Community Award, presented by the Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council, and expresses its very best wishes to Tom Courts and all the other independent and thriving businesses in Burntisland for continued success into the future.
