Come and see the improvements we’re making in Kincardine

AN EVENT aimed at looking at improvements in Kincardine is being held next week.

Local residents are being invited to the sessions organised by the Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) to see what progress has been made on work to better the town’s infrastructure.

The ‘Imagine Kincardine’ event will be held on Wednesday (November 2) at the community centre.

Drop-in sessions will be from 10am to 2pm and 4pm until 8pm. There will also be a walking tour around the town to discuss the improvements. These will be at 11.30am and at 6pm and spaces can be booked by emailing crt.hub@ coalfields-regen.org.uk or calling 01259 230 190.

Politicians have been invited to hear more about the plethora of positive changes which are to take place.

Nicky Wilson, chair of CRT in Scotland, was looking forward to allowing interested parties to see the plans for the area.

“Great improvements are planned for Kincardine and there are a number of initiatives under way to make the town an even betAN ter place to live,” he said. “We’re pleased to be holding this stakeholder information event to share the plans and give the local community another opportunity to see the progress that we have made.”

Last month, the improvements came a step closer when a planning application was approved by Fife Council.

Permission had been sought for £3m of work. This included environmental improvements, alterations and re-alignment of carriageway (A977 and A876), the resurfacing of public areas and the installation of street furniture in the High Street area.

The arrangement of the High Street and northern approach road is also set to change while new seats and bins will be added.
