Kirkcaldy Housing Investment Gets Green Light

A housing investment programme worth over £4.2 million for the Kirkcaldy area was approved by Councillors at a meeting of the Kirkcaldy Area Committee last week.

Over the course of the next year (Apr 2011 - Mar 2012), the significant investment will be spent on upgrading roofs, windows and doors, kitchens, bathrooms and heating systems installed by the Council.

Councillor Alice Soper, Chair of the Kirkcaldy Area Committee said: “Recent changes to the way the investment programme is delivered means we can ensure properties in most need of investment are targeted, regardless of their geographical location. The programme will deliver better quality housing and provide a warm, healthy and safe home environment for residents of the area. I look forward to seeing the improvements being carried out in the area over the next year.”

Councillor Brain Goodall, Chair of the Housing and Communities Committee added: “The ‘Better Homes’ exhibition we held last year was a real success in terms of giving tenants a better understanding of the types of modernisation works the Council are carrying out in homes across Fife. We will be holding another exhibition in March this year and I urge tenants to take advantage of this event which is also used to capture their views and expectations.

“Coupled with the Committee approval to build 32 houses at Ostlers Way, this really is a good news day for council housing in Kirkcaldy. Not only does it demonstrate Fife Council’s commitment to increasing access to housing, it will also help ensure our properties meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard.”
