A £2 MILLION project to improve the Lyne Burn corridor in Dunfermline faces a shortfall after a bid for cash was "declined at the last minute". Nature Scot's decision to withdraw funding leaves Fife Council having to find £500,000 in their capital plan to ensure the long-awaited greenspace proposals go ahead. Councillor Helen Law, convener of the City of Dunfermline area committee, said: "This is a really exciting project for Dunfermline and builds on work which has been ongoing for many years. "The most recent proposals seemed in jeopardy as Fife Council's application for funding for £650,000 to Nature Scot was declined at the last minute.
