Plans to demolish flats in Ballingry's Martin Crescent have been delayed, as some current residents still have not been rehomed.

There were plans for the demolition to being this month, however it could be early next year before it happens.

There are no current plans for what to do with the site once the flats have been demolished, with Fife Council open to suggestions for using the site on either a temporary or full-time basis.

The demolition of the blocks at 101-147 Martin Crescent comes after several instances of crime, anti-social behaviour and vandalism.

Prior to taking the decision to approve the demolition of the flats, Cowdenbeath Area Committee was told there was a "historical stigma" attached to this block, and that it was known locally to be an undesirable place to live.

It was agreed that any significant investment in the block would not be effective as it would be extremely difficult to regenerate due to the stigma and ongoing issues.

Some pre-demolition work has begun to take place such as removing meters and carrying out surveys.

The demolition will not involve explosives and precautions will be taken to prevent dust from entering the atmosphere, with the whole operation expected to take three to four months.
