A household recycling point in Cowdenbeath has been relocated to ease issues with noise affecting residents of nearby properties.
It was previously located in the main car park at the town’s newly refurbished leisure centre, but now it will at the Central Park car park, round the back of the facility.
Councillor Darren Watt said: “This will alleviate a lot of issues and concerns including noise for neighbouring houses, pedestrian safety, and easier access for vehicles including the bin lorry.
There is a one-way system in the area, which means that to access the recycling point, you must enter from the High Street and exit via Hall Street.
Mr Watt added: “I am pleased common sense has finally prevailed. Neighbouring residents have complained for years about persistent noise and fly tipping, and have relentlessly suggested the containers should be relocated to somewhere more suitable.
“The new central location will resolve these issues and will also help people to recycle their excess household waste more efficiently and conveniently.”
