Fife Council Surveys
Fife Council is asking residents to share their views on the parks, civic spaces, and green spaces that help define our communities.
Whether it’s a well-loved local park or a quiet riverside walk, your feedback will help us:
- protect special places from development
- improve accessibility and enjoyment of open spaces
- identify opportunities for trees, paths, play areas and more.
A version for children and young people is also available. The response will help us understand which spaces are thriving and which need extra care. It will ensure no important area is missed as we plan for the future needs of Fife’s communities, and will also help to inform the next Local Development Plan.

Children and young people survey: https://haveyoursay.fife.gov.uk/place/simplified-fife-open-space-audit-consultation-youn/
