Stabilisation works to begin on Dysart rock face

Work to stabilise the cliff face to the west of Dysart Harbour is set to begin on Tuesday 30 September, with the project expected to take six weeks, weather permitting. The contractor will be working Monday to Saturday, 08:00–17:00, to complete the job more quickly.

To ensure public safety during the works:

  • The coastal path will be temporarily diverted through Ravenscraig Park, avoiding the tunnel at the harbour.
  • Part of the Shore Road car park will be occupied by the contractor, resulting in parking restrictions for the duration of the project.

The project will help make the area safer by addressing instability in the cliff face, and these essential works will help protect the area and ensure long-term safety for residents and visitors.

Councillor Ian Cameron, Convener of the Kirkcaldy Area Committee, said: “This is a vital piece of work that will make the area safer for everyone who lives in or visits Dysart. While the Saturday working might come as a surprise, it means the job will be completed sooner, with less disruption overall.

“We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding while these improvements are carried out.”
