AN angry Times reader is demanding that the upgrade of the road surface of Bridge Street, in Cowdenbeath, is carried out quickly.

The motorist said in a letter to the paper: "This road is getting worse and worse and I wonder if the council people are just ignoring it.

"This is the main road into the town from the south side, which includes the A92, and what a welcome it is to Cowdenbeath, as you wonder how you are going to doge the various potholes of all types as you head towards High Street.

"It is no surprise that it is a mess as it is a very busy road, but the maintenance of it has fallen below required standards."

Cowdenbeath Area Committee was told at the last meeting of councillors that a full scale resurfacing of Bridge Street was in the pipeline.

The £125,000 project, however, has a Category 2 status which means that it will take some months to be tackled and come to fruition.
