Demolition work starts on site to build new Spar store in Kirkcaldy
Demolition work has started at an empty building on a prominent site in Kirkcaldy to turn it into shops.
The former KE Automatics showroom at the top of Rosslyn Street is set to become a new Spar store.
It forms part of a proposed development which will include two hot food takeaways and two shops under a planning application submitted to Fife Council.
The land, on the corner of Pottery Street, was once occupied by the Kitchen Depot and used to be home to a car wash business.
An updated planning application was submitted this week.
It said that the building is now in a poor state of repair in need of major investment and refurbishment - and that some demolition work had got underway.
Plans were first lodged in January 2021 by Mr George Mitchell from Glasgow.
It would mark a return to that part of town for Spar for the first time since it closed its St Clair Street shop in 2018.
