Waste Collection

Disruption to refuse collections in St Andrews should be kept to a minimum and measures to service refuse of commercial customers will be put in place. Any changes to the collection of domestic waste will be advertised on www.fife.gov.uk and Fife Council social media channels.

Local Traffic and Parking

A local traffic plan is being developed to keep key areas of the town free flowing and to allow all residents and businesses to go about their daily activities as usual with as little disruption as possible. We advise all residents and business owners to plan ahead and check local traffic restrictions to see how they or their customers might be affected.

Please be aware, access to east and west sections of Petheram Bridge car park will only be permitted to those with event access passes between Sunday 18 to Sunday 25 August. A limited number of passes for this car park for residents and business will be made available.

For Residents on The Scores, Murray Park, Golf Place, North Castle Street and East Scores

Parking schemes for residents only will be in place on Murray Park and a limited section of The Scores. To qualify for a permit, residents must live on The Scores, Murray Park, North Castle Street or East Scores.

To apply for a resident’s permit, please contact Fife Council by emailing Parking.Permits@fife.gov.uk by Friday 19 July 2024 who will ask for proof of address and ownership of vehicle.

AIG Women’s Open Construction Information

Together with Fife Council, The R&A is developing a plan to enable construction work to commence. During the construction phase, on-course infrastructure will be built across the Old Course and its surrounding land between Monday 24 June and Wednesday 21 August.

The R&A will set up a site reporting office on Old Guardbridge Road so all deliveries can be managed safely to keep disruption on local roads to a minimum. The standard hours of operation during the build will be from 7am – 7pm each day, including weekends. Following the AIG Women’s Open, a phased de-rig will occur working to the same operational hours as the construction phase. This is anticipated to be completed by Sunday 15 September.
