Something crafty is going on in Cowdenbeath to deter criminals, and brighten up the town centre.
Community police officers and Fife Council have come up with a scheme to give the High Street a makeover and help tackle low-level crime.
When the shop shutters come down at night, residents will be treated to the sight of a different work of art on every shop, thanks to a collaboration between police, council and High Street business owners.
With funding from the Cowdenbeath area committee, local artist Kerry Wilson has been engaged to paint a scene on each shutter representing the nature of the business.
Pupils from Beath High School and members of a local youth group are helping her in her artistic endeavours.
So far, Silk and Fresh Flower Pot’s shutters have been painted, work has started on the Cancer Research Shop and almost every other shuttered business has started to form an orderly queue to be next.
Community Inspector Ian Stephen said by engaging with businesses and getting young people involved, police wanted to contribute to making the High Street a more attractive place.
Fife Council’s Andrew Walker said it was part of a package to support the local economy and ensure that it remains vibrant.
