Help your High Street!

The Scottish Government have announced £60m of funding to help regenerate Scotland's Town Centres. They are looking for nominations at this site. Can you think of a town centre that needs regeneration?

lol I read that last week and about choked when Dunfermline was cited by the public for a revamp. Excuse me, have you seen what has been done there recently?!? I think the recent award for Glenrothes deserves our town centre to be up the top of this list.

Another e-mail suggested Dunfermline as being "badly in need of help".

"It suffers badly from Fife tourist publicity being aimed at the East Neuk and St Andrews," said Jess Mitchell.

"The increased population does not seem to have helped improve the facilities, possibly since so many of the newcomers work - and shop - in Edinburgh."

I couldn't believe that either when I heard about Dunfermline. They've just had £Xmillion spent on the shopping centre and I'd say the place isn't too bad actually.

We need to get Glenrothes nominated, as far as I can see there are no suggestions yet! Even St Andrews is in there, like they need money and they've just had the main road through all redone with fancy paving and shiney new lampposts!

That reminds me, we've been getting new lamp posts but thats about it lol

Yeah but our new ones still aren't as fancy as St Andrews's!
