Levenmouth area committee has agreed to put £9,150 from the area’s local community planning anti-poverty budget towards refurbishment of the toilets at Kennoway Bowling Club in preparation for its full reopening.
A huge amount of work has already been carried out during the pandemic to improve the club as a community use space, and plans are in place to expand that over the coming years.

Councillor Ken Caldwell, committee convener, said: “Kennoway Bowling Club has successfully run for many decades.
“Refurbishing its facilities ensures its is a resource available to the whole community.”
David Paterson, community manager, added that the work is the culmination of recent investment in the club which has consisted of a top to bottom redecoration, and the renewal of kitchen facilities.

“The installation of new toilet facilities – a piece of work which will also require the upgrading of the electrical and heating infrastructure in this part of the building - requires the combined skills of several trades.”
The club, which has seen its income fall by around 70% in the last two years, has 233 members, but councillors heard that management committee members are “clear in their commitment” to ensuring the facility is seen as a community resource rather than exclusive.
