It includes 34 new houses to be built at Westwood Park, Glenrothes as part of a wider-340 home development.

In Dysart, the council will build a further 34 houses at Boreland Road, Dysart - 24 general needs houses and 10 specific needs houses.

Councillor Judy Hamilton, who convenes the community and housing services committee, said: “Each new council house in each development provides every new tenant with a high quality, comfortable home built to the highest standards.

“Our affordable housing programme is a top priority, and, working with partners including the Fife Housing Association Alliance, we will be aiming to create as many safe, warm and affordable homes for Fifers as possible."
