Work has been agreed to ensure Levemouth’s new river park is maintained.

Upgrades are under way on the seven-mile active travel network between Cameron Bridge and Bawbee Bridge.

Running alongside the River Leven, it will include three or four metre-wide paths.

New play areas, benches, picnic tables and signage are also planned.

And new native trees, shrubs and wildflowers will be planted along the entire route.

The River Park maintenance agreement was a condition of planning approval.

It will ensure all plants and furniture are inspected, cleaned and maintained regularly.

Housing association’s new HQ hopes

Kingdom Housing Association wants to build a new headquarters in Glenrothes.

The body, which manages 6,500 homes across Fife, says it operates from outdated premises which are no longer fit for purpose.

Converted shipping containers are being used for some aspects of work, which is “unsustainable”.

Their planning application outlines a bid to transform offices in Boston Road into “vibrant spaces” that meet their needs.

92 houses for Windygates field

Plans for 92 new homes have been submitted for land behind Windygates Bowling Club.

Kirkcaldy-based JSMD Properties wants to develop 14 acres of agricultural land.

The firm announced its development intention in October and has since held two consultation events.

More details have now been revealed.

They include the possibility of a road through the site, with roundabouts at the junctions of Leven Road and Kennoway Road.

The idea follows local concern existing roads would not cope with more traffic.

Details of all this week’s developments can be found on the Fife planning portal.
