George Lyon MEP to visit Dunfermline

Dunfermline Liberal Democrats have launched their Dunfermline United campaign to prevent the Boundary Commission and the local Labour MP from splitting Dunfermline in two for future General Elections!
Former Dunfermline Lib Dem MSP, Jim Tolson said “I know from personal experience that split boundaries in a recognised settlement cause a great deal of confusion to individual constituents and many local organisations seeking help from their Member of Parliament.
The Boundary Commission’s proposals would create an east/west split in Dunfermline that would include all of Clackmannanshire and run to Kirkcaldy. Labour’s Thomas Docherty would prefer a north/south split of Dunfermline that would also include Clackmannanshire to Kirkcaldy.
However, Dunfermline Lib Dems feel that Dunfermline should not be split at all! We have put a submission to the Boundary Commission’s recent first round consultation that would bring together the west Fife villages, Dunfermline and northern villages, Rosyth, North Queensferry, Dalgety Bay and Aberdour in one constituency. This proposal would meet with the population basis the Boundary Commission are using and keep local communities connected. The Boundary Commission allow a maximum constituency size of 80,473. Our proposals would give a constituency of 79,871 which is broken down as;
Ward 1 – 14,415 West Fife & Coastal Villages
Ward 2 – 9,995 Dunfermline North
Ward 3 – 14,824 Dunfermline Central
Ward 4 – 15,364 Dunfermline South
Ward 5 – 10,926 Rosyth
Ward 6 – 13,347 Dalgety Bay & Inverkeithing
Ward 7 – 1,000 The Lochs (part – Kingseat and area to the west of the M90)
TOTAL – 79,871
If you want to keep Dunfermline United, please email info@dunfermlinelibdems.org.uk and give us your views and please include your name and postcode to help us keep you updated on this issue. When the Boundary Commission begin round two of the consultation later this year, we will send you the details of how to add your voice to the Dunfermline United campaign to stop Dunfermline being split for the first time in living memory!
