Community GroupsAs we progress with our first ever Local Place Plan and find out what are the priorities in the community for submission to Fife Region we are holding one to one conversations with people who run groups or organisations in the area. This will give us great insight into what is needed and where for future developments. If you help with any community groups and would like a chat about what you need and can offer to the community – just reply to this email. ……………………………………………… On that note we are going to have a Community Groups Open Day in the Durham Hall on the 4th of December from 12pm until 3pm at the Durham Hall, Lower Largo and hope as many people as possible from the abundance of groups and organisations that run throughout the area can make it along to showcase what they do. There will be mince pies, tea and coffee and we hope you can drop in or get in touch if you want to get involved. |

We continue to work with the primary schools in the area on gaining an understanding what the children value. Most recently we did three beach cleans for the Great National Beach Clean. Please see the graphs attached for a depiction of what we found. We look forward to welcoming our local Oyster Officer to Largo Bay after the holidays as she comes along to the next outdoor day with the children. More on that soon. ………………………………………………. We continue our Friends of Largo Bay group and will be hosting Shaun Suttie of The East Neuk Hatchery at Largo Library on the 26th of October at 7pm. Do come along to find out more about this conservation project which he plans will result in a local centre focusing on regenerating lobster populations.

September 2022
As we roll into September, let’s take a look back at what we’ve been up to with the Largo Communities Together place plan. We’ve been pretty tied up with the Restoration Forth Project lately, focusing on our beach and sea—no surprises there if you’ve taken a stroll along our coast.
Our journey kicked off with a neat visit to the Ecology Centre earlier this year. We learned a lot about community involvement, and that got us fired up. We’re now part of the Coastal Communities Network, teaming up for beach clean-ups and getting some great advice from folks like Lyle from Project Seagrass.
One eye-opener was a recent clean-up where we found a whopping 89 pieces of rubbish on what looked like a pristine beach. It was a reminder that there’s still plenty of work to do, but it was a lesson for us all.
But we’re not giving up. We’ve got another clean-up planned for this Friday and Sunday.
Looking ahead, we’re feeling positive about what’s to come.
Together, we’re making strides towards a cleaner, brighter future for Largo Bay.
Let’s keep working together and see where this journey takes us.
