Lochgelly
Lochgelly (Gaelic: Loch Gheallaidh) is a town in Fife, Scotland.
It is located between Lochs Ore and Gelly [1] to the north-west and south-east respectively. It is separated from Cowdenbeath by the village of Lumphinnans. According to the 2007 population estimate, the town has a population of 6,834. [2]
History
From the 1830s until the 1960s Lochgelly was a mining town.[1] With the industry now dead the town has slipped into economic and social deprivation as with other former mining towns. Lochgelly is now classed as town in need of regeneration "economically and socially" and has the cheapest average home price in Britain.[3]
Lochgelly is also the home of the most reputed firm that produced tawses, from the Fife town, and hence a synonym (spelled without a capital L) for that typically Scottish device for corporal punishment.
Lochgelly, as part of the old parliamentary constituency of West Fife, was known as "Little Moscow" up to the 1950s owing to its Communist political leanings.
The town is served by Lochgelly railway station on the line between Edinburgh and Markinch.
Lochgelly is named after the local Loch (gelly) which is Gaelic for "Loch of Shining Waters".
Entertainment
Lochgelly used to be served in the entertainment sector by the Lochgelly Centre, which had a 424-seat theatre that was ideal for community theatre groups, dance groups and music events. However the Lochgelly Centre is now closed in 2010 for remodelling/refurbishment work, leaving Lochgelly without any access to Childrens facilities, elderly facilities, community access to various events and classes.
The town is also entertained by Lochgelly Town Hall, which is now establishing itself as a venue for live music. Rubber Stamp Promotions hold regular events at the venue, with bands such as The Vivians and Sergeant (band) playing there in 2009.
Football
Lochgelly is home to the junior football club Lochgelly Albert F.C. Former clubs include Lochgelly United F.C. who played in the senior leagues between 1890 and 1928 and Lochgelly Violet.
Community organisations
To tackle issues of multiple deprivation in the town various organisations such as the Coalfields Regeneration Trust have been given funding monies to distribute locally via community based groups such as social enterprises, charities and voluntary groups.[4]
The Lochgelly Community Council holds monthly meetings to discuss issues affecting Lochgelly, from planning issues to general issues representative of the local community. All meetings are open to the public, and provide the local citizens an opportunity to represent their views to the local council. The Community Council is made up of local members of the Lochgelly Community and also include local politicians in attendance from the SNP (Ian Chisolm) and Labour (Mark Hood). Monthly minutes from the meetings are available in the Lochgelly Library.
Meeting of the Community Council are held on every 2nd Wednesday of the month and are open to the members of the public to come along and ask questions or raise any issues, as the Community Council is there to serve the needs of the local community.
The Lochgelly Community Regeneration Forum (LCRF) is a group of voluntary members made up from the local community which acts as a middle ground between the local community and Fife Council. The LCRF represents the local communities interest and provides a forum to raise local issues with the Fife Council.
Lochgelly used to have a free magazine distributed locally to every home in the town, this service was provided by the LCRF; and the magazine was designed for free by a locally based not for profit Social Enterprise (Subliminal Directions), which is now closed.
