Executive Endorses Right to Buy
![]()
Great news! It’s been a long wait but now we’ve heard at last that KCLA has been granted the right to register an interest in buying all of the plots of land around
This means that Kinghorn people will have first refusal on any of the plots whenever an owner chooses to sell. The Scottish Executive has endorsed the community’s aspirations and has given us all a chance to have a say in the future management of the area that means so much to everyone.
The next step is to arrange for a two-stage feasibility study to be carried out. We have already been awarded a grant towards this from Fife Council and we are presently submitting applications to other funding bodies. We are drawing up a shortlist of consultants who will submit tenders for the work. In the submissions to the Scottish Executive we outlined some possible uses of the land areas and properties. A feasibility study will look in detail at these ideas and more and will present a guide to what is practicable, considering that each plot, whenever it might become available, must stand on its own merit.
