Representatives of three community councils have united to voice their concerns over a notorious Fife road.
The leaders of groups in Freuchie, Ladybank and North Glenrothes will join forces to apply pressure on the Scottish Government in a bid to have safety improvements implemented on the stretch of the A92 that passes through their areas.
Ron Page, the chairman of North Glenrothes Community Council (NGCC), has been particularly critical of what he believes has been a lack of urgency to upgrade parts of the route.
After the meeting of the three groups, he said that all parties were united in their desire for steps to be taken.
“Those present were unanimous in their reiterating that the A92 was inadequate and not fit for purpose,” he said.
“Traffic is increasing on this busy trunk road and action is needed now.”
Recently the NGCC requested that members of the public report any incidents they witnessed on the A92.
A form on its website has been created, allowing the group to establish a comprehensive portfolio of accidents or near misses.
Last year, Fife Council unveiled an ambitious plan stating its desire to see the A92 dualled from Glenrothes to the Tay Road Bridge, as well as several other modifications, on safety grounds.
The Action Plan had been welcomed by campaigners, with Mr Page and others determined to continue pressuring Transport Minister Derek Mackay.
Mr Page continued: “Given that the A92 Action Plan had been submitted to the Scottish Government in March 2015 and no action or even discussion had taken place, it was agreed to continue to pressurise the relevant authorities, and indeed to increase this pressure.”
Transport Scotland, which operates the trunk road, has always maintained that it adopts a “comprehensive” approach to safety on the route and has repeatedly liaised with local communities over any concerns.
More than £24 million has been invested on the stretch since 2007.
