Dear Community Members, The Simpson Institute is hosting an open meeting tonight to discuss this highly valued community resource. Come along to the Hall from 6:30pm to join the chat. As highlighted in our recent local place plan and community action plan, we are incredibly lucky to have fantastic community spaces like the many community halls, all maintained by dedicated volunteers. These spaces make possible the many groups, interactions, and learning opportunities that make the Largo Area such a great place to live. |

We are on the cusp of a momentous occasion – the Largo Bay Clean, a large-scale and ambitious effort aimed at not only beautifying our beloved coastlines but also making a meaningful impact on national environmental policies.
This initiative is a pivotal component of our Great British Beach Clean and aligns with the objectives set forth in the Largo Communities Together Place Plan. Our goals are twofold:
1. To uphold the pristine condition of our beaches, reinforcing our commitment to environmental stewardship.
2. To contribute our litter collection data to the Marine Conservation Society’s Database, thereby influencing National Policy on marine conservation.
Your participation is crucial.
We have designated five key areas for cleanup this coming Sunday This role not only involves hands-on effort in the cleanup but also entails contributing to a larger database that aids in policy formation.
The areas targeted for this initiative are:
– The Temple
– Silverburn
– Dumbarnie
– Lundin Golf Club
– Cocklemill Burn/Ruddon Point
Your registration can be confirmed via email at : [email protected]
Warm Welcomes
We are immensely grateful for the enthusiastic participation and invaluable contributions from our community members during the Warm Welcome sessions.

Paths For Everyone
We really want to push ahead with making the area more walkable, and wheelable for everyone firstly we are focusing on the pathways between Upper and Lower Largo and between New Gilston and Woodside as these are affecting many peoples quality of lives
Your stories and testimonials about the current conditions of these pathways and their impact on your daily life are invaluable to our advocacy efforts.
We are putting together a collection of stories we would love your input: please send us your images or stories that highlight the urgency for improvement in good, safe pleasant walkways specifically at these key spots but also anywhere that impacts you.
