HATE the boarded up nursing home when you first come into the village and the boarded up bank, they both look terrible and give a bad impression.

The Mercat Cross in the High Street is an eyesore. There has been railings round it now for about two years. Too many traffic lights that can easily be misread - bring back the round-about, now that we have less through traffic. The roads are also in a dreadful state being full of potholes. “Lack of enforcing of no parking rules and disregard of 20mph speed limit. Lack of leisure / sports facilities other than golf club or bowling club. The lack of facilities for classes such as badminton, keep fit, tennis and that the comunity has no opportunity to access the swimming pool at the police college now. Also there are some play parks that are out of date and are a safety issue. Nothing for young people which causes a problem in the high street at the weekend. I think the police office is a waste of money nobody is ever there and you hardly ever see any police in the village. No banks and possibly no post office in near future. Too many pubs and take-away places. Lack of public toilets for visitors and also for passengers on the park and ride bus service. I don’t like that it’s so complicated to get to Stirling by bus! Lack of transport from Sivewright Court to the village. There is no train station close enough for easy transport to Stirling or Alloa. Waterfront littered with bottles and rubbish and weeds – shocking! The litter on the streets and in the burn ”behind Glebe Road. 7

KINCARDINE OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

This statement has been prepared to summarise the main aspirations for the future as expressed by local people and organisations.

Kincardine will flourish and prosper, with a vibrant village centre, a culture of enterprise and plenty to attract people to live, work or visit here.

We will have made the most of our rich and fascinating heritage, and the opportunities on our doorstep for enjoying the coast and the countryside.

Kincardine will have an excellent range of services and facilities to cater for all ages and sectors of our community, and there will be a responsive relationship with Fife Council and other service providers.

This will be a place to be proud of with attractive buildings, clean and well maintained streets and open spaces.

The village character will be retained, while being well connected across central Scotland – by road, bus and rail.

Kincardine’s strong community spirit will be alive with volunteers, businesses, community groups, activities and events all playing their part. We will support the development of young people as they are of key importance to Kincardine’s future prosperity 8 MAIN STRATEGIES AND PRIORITIES

These are the main strategies and priorities to address the issues that matter most to the community. We will work towards achieving these in partnership with public agencies and other supporters.

THEME 1: Main priorities: VILLAGE ENVIRONMENT • Improve roads & pavements • Better traffic management system Kincardine has a wealth of historic buildings and • Public & community transport some parts of the village are conservation areas. • A more local High School However some of the iconic buildings and sites have been allowed to deteriorate, and there is an increas- ing air of neglect and lack of care. The centre of the village should be attractive and welcoming, with THEME 3: SPORT & facilities that will encourage locals and visitors to RECREATION FACILITIES spend time here. The sports hall at Kincardine Community Centre Main priorities: has been unusable for several years, and is soon to • Clean up Kincardine! be demolished by Fife Council. We have no space • Improvements to the built environment suitable for any sort of indoor sport, other than • Public toilets bowls. To access a swimming pool, or indoor facility • Community gardens & flowers for football or badminton, residents have to travel to Alloa or Dunfermline. Similarly, outdoor play & recreation facilities are in need of upgrading.

THEME 2: TRAFFIC, Main priorities: TRANSPORT & ACCESS TO SERVICES • Indoor sports & recreation facilities • Children’s play areas The condition of many roads and pavements has also deteriorated, adding to the run down look as well as causing hazards for motorists and pedestri- ans. One of the biggest concerns however, are the problems caused by the traffic light system that was introduced as a temporary measure while repairs were being made to the bridge.

Bus services to Dunfermline and Glasgow are excel- lent. Being on the very edge of Fife, we are closer to many services in Alloa, Stirling and Falkirk, but the bus services are infrequent and expensive. Children have to travel for 30 minutes by bus to reach high school in Dunfermline, and we would dearly love to have a local secondary school to serve all the West Fife villages. There is a strong desire to see the railway station in Kincardine re-opened which would then provide commuters and visitors with a quick and sustainable connection to Stirling, Edinburgh and beyond. 9 MAIN STRATEGIES AND PRIORITIES
