Work on additional parking spaces at Lochore Meadows Country Park was completed last week.

As previously reported in the Times, the popular site was to receive a new tarmac area for vehicles, located next to the main visitor centre car park, due to demand.

The project has delivered approximately 56 additional marked spaces to help ease congestion during peak periods.

Work was carried out last week on the additional spaces, and was completed ahead of the Easter holidays.

However, back in November last year, it was revealed that parking charges could be introduced at the site.

More than a million visitors a year head to the country park and Fife Council said the extra income would help pay for staffing costs and increased maintenance.

Fife Council have said that there are currently no plans to introduce a parking charge.

Further improvements will take place later, which are hoped to be finished before summer.

The Lochore Meadows Country Park page posted on Friday: “Work has been underway this week on additional parking spaces in the country park. We are delighted to announce that work will be completed today ahead of the Easter holidays.

“This upgrade, which is located at the rear of the main visitor centre car park, will help reduce congestion during busy periods and improve access for everyone by providing additional spaces.

“We will be working on further car park improvements after the holidays which we hope to complete before the summer season.

“Thank you for your patience while the work has been underway, this improvement is one of many exciting projects we are undertaking this year that we hope will enhance the visitor experience for those that visit the country park.
