Fife Council has said that businesses in Queensway Industrial Estate in Glenrothes are "open as normal" as the Glenrothes Energy Network road works progress.

Temporary road closures are necessary to carry out the works safely. Three way traffic lights are being used to direct the traffic. This is leading to queues and delays.

Ross Tulloch, Glenrothes Energy Network programme manager said: "We're sorry these essential works are causing disruption to travel in central Glenrothes.

"Due to the nature of the road layout and the heavy construction involved in these road works delays are inevitable. We're working with the contractor to minimise disruption and we ask for the public's continued patience and co-operation."

All businesses in the area are open as usual. For people travelling to Asda and McDonalds please follow the sign-posted diversion via Fullerton Road. Temporary traffic lights are in use on Flemington Road so allow extra time when travelling as delays are unavoidable.

Glenrothes Energy Network is a £24 million collaborative local heat scheme between the Scottish Government, RWE and Fife Council. It will provide sustainable low carbon heat to a mix of industrial, commercial, community and domestic properties in Glenrothes as well as the Fife House complex.
