Circle an option at junction

SCOTLAND’S transport minister has said a roundabout is one of the options being considered to tackle a hazardous junction on the A92 in Fife.

Humza Yousaf was i n Glenrothes to meet members of North Glenrothes Community Council, which has campaigned for almost a decade for an upgrade of the road through the town.

The minister saw hazards faced by motorists at both the Balfarg and Cadham j unctions and said an options appraisal would be conducted quickly, with the results expected in the summer.

Mr Yousaf said: “The next part of the process is an options study. We know where the conflicts might happen and we are now going to study in detail a variety of options.

“One of these will be a roundabout which t he community council is very keen on. It’s not the one we absolutely will settle on — I have to make that clear. A number of factors will have to be weighed up.” Signpost International’s Jamie Morrison, left, and Michael Calder working on a Tippy Tap, is an easy solution for running water.
