He said: “This fund has already helped to deliver millions worth of funding across Scotland so I would encourage Fife Council to ensure it puts in a bid for a share of this funding.

“The fund can help make many community projects across the Fife Council area a reality that our local people have wished to see for years.”

Mr Stewart added: “It will also directly empower the council by giving the money straight to them, which is exactly what our councils need after years of savage SNP cuts to their budgets.
