Local authorities in Fife and Dundee have been accused of trying to cut costs under the guise of biodiversity and putting public health and road safety at risk. It comes after a study by Exeter University found councils letting roadside verges go wild could bring huge environmental benefits. Sites across Dundee and Fife are being considered for “naturalisation” after public consultation. In Dundee most city parks, as well as along the Esplanade in Broughty Ferry, are in the frame for greater wildlife zones.

Remember When...Knockhill rises again after coronavirus

While some sports have soldiered on with no fans the experience for those watching on TV has been much diminished. Scotland s national motorsport centre, Knockhill, in Fife, has suffered along with everyone else and this year saw 41 events either cancelled, postponed or run behind closed doors. So motorsport fans will be relieved the circuit has hopefully weathered the storm and has announced the provisional events schedule for 2021. The highlights are the cornerstone events of the Bennetts British Superbikes and Kwik Fit British Touring Cars, televised live, but these are complemented by a host of Scottish car and motorcycle races.
