Councillors in Fife have decided on projects that will be considered for funding in Dunfermline.

Scotland's newest city received £5 million from the UK Government as part of the Levelling Up Fund.

Suggestions include renovations to St Margaret's House and Fire Station Creative.

Plans to develop a new cultural space for young people at Tower House are also under consideration.

Council Leader David Ross commented: "Levelling-Up funding will make a significant contribution to improving the long-term prospects of the city - securing its rich history and culture for generations to come. 

"We’re working with local community organisations, businesses and the third sector on ambitious plans for Dunfermline’s social and economic future.

"Securing investment like this is a vital part of these plans.” 

Convenor of the council's City of Dunfermline Area Committee Cllr James Calder added: "Timescales are short, however we are committed to developing these projects which will not only bring benefits to the city of Dunfermline but Fife as a whole."
