PROPOSALS to improve the infrastructure of Kincardine are to be shared and discussed with members of the local community, along with business people and other interested groups.
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) has issued the invitation to the Imagine Kincardine event at the Coalfields Training and Enterprise Hub and Kincardine Community Centre on October 7.
As well as promoting plans for town centre improvements, CRT is asking other organisations to showcase their work, including plans for external improvements to properties by the local housing association.
Politicians have also been invited to hear more about the plethora of positive changes happening in Kincardine
Nicky Wilson, chair of CRT in Scotland, said: “Great improvements are planned for Kincardine and there are a number of initiatives under way to make the town an even better place to live.

“We’re pleased to be holding this stakeholder information event to share various proposals and give the local community another opportunity to contribute.”
The Scottish Government-funded CRT was formed in 1999 to help mining communities recover from the devastating effects of pit closures.
Earlier this year the “Kincardine, Places for Everyone” project featured in the Scottish Design Awards and was entered for The Pineapples, launched by The Developer in partnership with the Design Council.
The CRT has been working with the design team at HarrisonStevens to progress the project.
Mike Harrison, the company’s co-founder, said: “We have been delighted to see confidence in the community grow. Kincardine is not a town on the edge of Fife or a forgotten place. It is a busy town with strong links to heritage, industry and enterprise and a prime geographical position on the Forth, close to woodland resources.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
