Contractor WH Malcolm Ltd has started work to build a new synthetic pitch in Fife.

The new 60m x 40m pitch is being developed in Wallsgreen Park, Cardenden.

The project, which is being funded by the council, is expected to be complete in May.

Cllr Mark Hood said: "Investing in quality pitches across Fife is a priority in terms of improving access to sport and physical activity for Fifers. We know that where we invest in sporting facilities we see an increased attendance and the demand for synthetic pitches can be particularly high.

"Work is expected to be completed in May, depending on weather, and the new facility will be known as the ‘John Thompson Synthetic Turf Pitch’ when it opens. It’s set to be another impressive investment that will improve on the provision of pitches in the Cardenden and wider Central Fife area."
