More than £2.1 million was invested across the Glenrothes area during 2025/26 to improve roads, pavements, road safety and traffic management, street lighting and bridges, enhancing journeys for residents, businesses and visitors.

Members of the Glenrothes Area Committee were briefed on completed schemes ranging from carriageway resurfacing and pavement upgrades to safety measures, lighting improvements and bridge works.

Around £1.04 million funded resurfacing on key routes including Flemington Road, the A911 Queensway, Huntsmans Road, Main Street in Star and Beaufort Drive.

A further £214,000 was directed to pavement upgrades, making walking routes in communities such as Muirfield Drive, Ralston Court and Ivanhoe Drive safer and easier to use.

The programme also delivered road safety and traffic management measures, street lighting upgrades, and improvements to bridges and other structures across the area.

Councillor John Beare, Convener of Glenrothes Area Committee, said: "Good quality roads, pavements and street lighting make a real difference to people travelling around our communities.

"This investment has supported improvements across Glenrothes and the surrounding villages, helping keep local routes safer and in better condition for everyone who uses them.

"We know there is always more work to do, but it's positive to see projects completed across our communities and continued investment in our local transport network."
