More than £100,000 is being spent on improvements to the communal areas at two high-rise blocks in Methi, Fife.

Residents living at Swan and Memorial Courts will benefit from a range of improvements, including new automatic entrance doors, plus better ramps into the buildings and laundry areas. And the residents' lounges will be redesigned, with wider doors, new toilets and kitchens.

The work has the needs of disabled people to the fore.

A £109,000 budget for the upgrade was approved by members of the Levenmouth area committee at its latest meeting.

Fife Councillor and committee chairperson, David Alexander, said: "This project at Swan and Memorial Courts in Methil marks our continuing investment in providing quality social housing across Fife."

Architects have been appointed to oversee the improvement work.
