"Our road network is vital to support economic development, inward investment, tourism, leisure and travel to work. Almost everyone in Fife uses our roads on a daily basis, which is why this type of maintenance work is so essential."

The works will be carried out in two phases:

Phase 1 – Motion Street to Moffat Crescent

Phase 2 – Moffat Crescent to Buller Street.

Two-way temporary traffic lights will be used to control traffic during the works. Access to Lumphinnans Road from connecting side streets will not be possible during each phase of the works. Access for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Cllr Craik concluded: "We apologise for any inconvenience and delay caused by these essential works, and we will try to keep any disturbance to a minimum. Your patience and co-operation during this time is greatly appreciated."
