A project worth an estimated £8,000 is set to transform a pathway in Dunbar.

This path, which runs past Hallhill Sports Centre, will be upgraded thanks to funding from the Scottish Government's Spaces for People programme.

Environment spokesperson, Cllr Norman Hampshire explained: "This particular path which runs alongside Hallhill rugby pitch and running track and the all-weather pitch is narrow at both ends with an electrical distribution box and sets of gates. The Spaces for People funding will enable the distribution box to be re-sited and so provide a wider and much safer route to school for children and families."

Work is scheduled to be carried out in mid December and the improved route available to use at the start of the new school term in January 2021.
