SOUTH-WEST Fife communities are missing out on their fair share of money from a fund that has dished out thousands of pounds to other areas in the Kingdom. That s the view of Conservative councillor Mino Manekshaw, who said he was “concerned” that some communities are missing out on funding from the Crown Estate, which has handed out more than £320,000 to Fife in the last two years. The West Fife and Coastal Villages councillor has been seeking new funding for the Torry Bay nature reserve since benefactors Scottish Power withdrew financial support after closing the nearby Longannet power station. Cllr Manekshaw has asked for some of the £56,000 left over from both years of Crown Estate grants to be directed towards the reserve.
