IT was labelled "dangerous" in January but there have been further safety improvements at the entrance way to Cowdenbeath’s B&M store.
The shop on High Street had fallen victim to subsidence, which, as previously reported by the Times, caused the pavement outside to buckle.
Since then, several measures have been put in place which firstly involved changing the access to the store's garden centre before a new temporary ramp was added at the start of this year.
Other measures included signage and a bell for customers using mobility aids to be let into the store via the garden centre gate.

Now, fixed barriers have been installed around the entrance to the shop.
Cllr Darren Watt, who has been fighting to make the entrance to B&M safe again, posted to Facebook: “Following ongoing concerns about the front of B&M, I'm really pleased to see more permanent and robust features have been installed.
“B&M is a very popular shop and is a huge attraction for Cowdenbeath with people coming from far and wide to visit, however, with safety concerns around the front of the store, many people were simply put off from going there.
“The initial improvements helped ease a lot of minds and I'm sure the further enhancements will offer even more peace of mind, particularly for people with disabilities and those in need of additional support and assistance.”
