Eco Frown

by Peter Vardy 14 February
What has happened to the prospects of Cardendens regeneration as an Eco Town? These exciting proposals seem to have been quietly swept under the carpet. Some much-needed funding to improve the village would be excellent. Anyone got any information??

Kevin Robertson says

You might want to contact the Cardenden & Kinglassie Community Council which is represented on the 'Eco-Town Liaision Group' which is convened by Banks Developments. (communitycouncil@corriecentre.co.uk)

Siobhan Samson, Community Engagement Co-ordinator with Banks Development can also be contacted as follows: siobhan.samson@banksdevelopments.com

Ore Valley Housing Association are involved in proposals to introduce a district heating system throughout the area. Contacting Ore Valley may help shed some light too: ovha@orevalleyha.org.uk

Hope this helpful.

Banks Developments have decided to disolve the Liaison Group for the foreseeable future because of the current economic situation and the stance of Fife Council against the development. However they intend developing two site, one behind Denend School, but this depends on access inti the site. The other is the old garage site at Woodend Road, but this depends on them aquiring the garage. Regards Community Council

Banks Developments have decided to dissolve the Liaison Group because of the current economic situation coupled with the stance of Fife Council against the development. (It is not in the Strategic Plan which covers the next 20 years). However they still intend developing two sites in Cardenden. One behind Denend School, but this depends on access into the site. The other is the old garage site at Woodend Road, but this depends on the owners selling them the garage. We will report any further progress when it happens. Community Council
