Dunfermline New City Assembly
Join us in creating a vibrant future for Dunfermline together.
The New City
The Dunfermline New City Assembly is a new project about the future of Dunfermline, and we want you to be part of it. The Electoral Reform Society Scotland, Fife Council and the Scottish Government are working with local people, groups and organisations to bring everyone together and make plans for the city’s future.
A Citizens’ Assembly is a group of people chosen in the same way a jury is. The aim is to have lots of different kinds of people from the community. Together, they learn about important issues, share their ideas, and then make suggestions for how Dunfermline should grow and change. These ideas are then taken to the council to help shape the city in the years ahead.
Dunfermline Declaration
We want more people to know about this exciting project and to get everyone involved in the city. To do this, we brought together different groups and people from across Dunfermline to write the declaration below.
“The people best placed to make the decisions about the future of Dunfermline are the people who live here. People like you. That is why we are supporting a Citizens’ Assembly for the city. It will bring together a group of people, drawn from the public, who are representative of all backgrounds. This will be an exciting opportunity to learn, to discuss and then to set out big ideas for Dunfermline.”
“We know that it is easy to feel powerless, and that things often happen to us, rather than with us. We know that there are lots of pressures on our daily lives. But it is also true that when we make our voices heard, we can change things for the better. This project is a chance to reconnect people with power. It is about fostering the knowledge of our communities so that they can be involved in making decisions about the place we are proud to call home.”
We are asking you to sign this. By signing, you will be part of the official start of the project. We want every local group to become stronger through this work – and to show that people in our community can have a real say in the decisions that affect us.
