A new £70,000 path has made cycling between Newport and the Tay Road Bridge safer.
Newport cafe owner and local citizen of the year Diane Miller officially opened the path and said it would make a difference to cyclists.
Ms Miller, who runs the Manna Cafe, uses the route to cycle to work.
”I don’t drive and the cycle path means I’ll be able to cut out an element of Tay Street, which is great because there are so many parked cars,” she said.
”I think traffic has been getting worse in recent years and it’s marvellous that people are being given a safer place to cycle.”
Funding for the project came from a £14,000 Sustrans Community Links grant, £20,000 from Fife Council’s locality budget and £36,000 from the Scottish Government’s Cycling, Walking and Safer Streets scheme.
The path joins with the national cycle route from St Andrews to Dundee and is part of Fife Coastal Path.
Taybridgehead councillor Tim Brett said: ”Sometimes things can take a long time to happen and I was first approached about the need for a proper path here seven to eight years ago by local residents when I was the councillor for Newport.
”Thanks to the help and support of quite a number of people, it has now been possible to get this work done.”
