12 December 2025Fife Council announces the innovative Go-Flexi bus service will be extended as part of a new trial launching on December 15.
Go-Flexi is Fife Council’s demand-responsive transport service, designed to provide reliable connections for communities in West Fife that may not be well-served by traditional bus routes. Funded by Fife Council and operated by Moffat and Williamson, Go Flexi is available to anyone travelling in specific Flexi Zone areas.
Instead of running on a fixed timetable, Go-Flexi allows passengers to book journeys in advance, offering pick-ups and drop-offs at selected bus stops across the area.
Go-Flexi is an on-demand bus service that provides a flexible way of travelling around rural West Fife.
Why not ‘Go-Flexi’ for shopping trips, to catch a train or bus, college trips, or visiting friends?
Go-Flexi service times
- Monday to Friday: 08:30 – 17:30
- Saturday/Sunday: No service
For more information and detail on how to use this service please visit the Fife Council website
10 December 2025Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) are calling on Scots to have their say on the future of the nation’s water environment.
SEPA has launched a public consultation, Safeguarding Scotland's Water Environment, about what it calls Significant Water Management Issues – issues that are having a significant adverse impact on the condition of the water environment and that it seeks to tackle
A Word version of the consultation is provided on the consultation website - .docx file here
Water experts at the agency have identified seven key focus areas for the next six-year water management cycle:
- rural diffuse pollution (the release of potential pollutants from a range of activities such as agricultural run-off)
- the physical condition of rivers
- artificial barriers to fish migration (physical modifications to rivers built for water storage, navigation, water abstraction and crossings for road and rail transport)
- sea lice from marine fish farms
- water use (ensuring our water resources are resilient to a changing climate and managed within environmental limits)
- wastewater and sewer networks
- chemicals in the water environment
