Fife Council has announced that works will begin later next month to repair a collapsed wall in High Street.

Following a recent agreement with the land owner to allow works to commence, this will also enable the re-opening of the road leading to Edington Place. This road is currently closed in the interest of public safety.

A contract for the work is now out to tender. Once it is awarded, it is expected to take around eight weeks to complete. Parking restrictions will be in place at certain times throughout the works.

Commenting on the agreement, Chair of the Kirkcaldy Area Committee, Councillor Neil Crooks said: "A lot of work has gone into what has been a very complex situation. This has caused a great deal of inconvenience for local residents and businesses for a number of years so I'm delighted that we will finally see this road re-opened.

"It's frustrating at the time it's taken but great news that work will start, meaning that local residents and business will once again have full use of the road."
