Call for major road improvement

The group has called for upgrades from Bankhead to the Tay Bridge

A pressure group has said Fife Council needs to do more to secure investment in one of the area's major roads.

Glenrothes Area Futures Group said promises of improvements to the A92 had not materialised despite claims of an increase in use.

As a trunk road, the A92 is the responsibility of the Scottish Government rather than Fife Council.

However, campaigners said the local authority must apply pressure on transport bosses to secure an upgrade.

The stretch they have identified as needing improvements runs from Bankhead to the New Inn Roundabout and then on to the Tay Road Bridge.

The Glenrothes-based group said it believed the needs of road users have been ignored.

They have called for a 20-year plan to be drawn up for the road.

A spokeswoman for Transport Scotland said: "While Transport Scotland plans to invest £1.5m in a number of improvements on the A92, we are not considering any further schemes at present but would be happy to listen to any representations made."
