DUNFERMLINE S roads are in a terrible state and there are hopes that more money will be found to fix them. Planned improvement works in the town costing £230,000 were expected to get the nod on Tuesday but councillors agreed to hold off to see if extra cash becomes available. The convener of the City of Dunfermline area committee, Helen Law, said: I’d be grateful if we could agree to defer this so we can get more information and hopefully get more budget and do more projects. “Without question, the roads are in a terrible state and I’ll certainly be looking for more money for roads when the council sets its budget.”
There are £546,000 of roadworks ahead in Dunfermline, with improvements and repairs to be agreed tomorrow. THE road ahead for repairs and maintenance in Dunfermline looks “concerning” according to a new Fife Council report. The City of Dunfermline Area Committee will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) to approve projects and budgets in the town for the 2021-22 financial year. The current capital plan indicates that the carriageway and footway capital budget of £7.3m in 2020-21 will reduce to £6.5m in 2021-22 and will further reduce to £6m annually thereafter. In Dunfermline, councillors are expected to agree on a £226,000 budget for carriageways; set aside £198,000 for footways; and a further £122,000 for road safety and traffic management schemes.
