Leven Beach and community work update - May 2024

We’ve been down to the east end of Leven Beach for an update on work designed to improve the Prom’s appearance and amenity.
Councillors on the Levenmouth Area Committee backed plans to use up to £48,500 from a combination of the ward 21 Local Community Planning Budget (LCPB) and the Community Renewal Fund (CRF) to carry out a number of interventions, including access improvements to recreational grass areas and the beach, the introduction of accessible picnic benches, and repairs to the brick wall from the skateboard park to the end of the Prom.
Work has also been done to support the development of sand dunes which, in time, will strengthen coastal protection and improve conservation and biodiversity, while signage has been put in place to explain what is being done to support dune development and how it will contribute to climate change.
Meanwhile, with thousands of additional visitors expected to descend on Levenmouth thanks to the Levenmouth Rail Link over the summer months, we also caught up with Police Scotland to see how partnership working in the area continues to pay dividends.
