A £5 million project to revamp Glenrothes’ Riverside Park is entering an ‘important’ phase as work continues in the run-up to Christmas and beyond.
Funding was secured from the UK Government to develop the park, with extensive pond works and a number of paths and walkways already having been created.
Fife Council said that plans are continuing to progress at the park, with work set to begin on November 11 on the build of a new £1 million play park, whilst surfacing works will also begin at the Riverside West Pond Car Park.
Elsewhere, a lane closure will be required on the B969 River Leven Bridge from November 18 as planned bridge improvements are stepped up.
Councillor John Beare, convener of Glenrothes area committee, said, “Winter might be coming but it’s fantastic to see the plans for the park coming to fruition, and the next few months will be really important.
“The east side of the park in particular will undergo a major transformation and is an active site, so we’d like to remind members of the public to please stay outside of all working areas for their own safety.
“The planned works on the bridge will not only improve its appearance but they’ll also include some parapet and lighting improvements which are very welcome.”
