"The plan for Saturday is for everyone to meet up in the car park area across from the mosque in Hendry Road at 11:50am for a 12:00pm start.

"We’re asking everyone who joins us on the day to bring their own litter pickers, bin bags and gloves as we haven’t been able to get any from the Safer Communities Fife team due to COVID-19.”
