FIFE Council featured on BBC television on Wednesday night and the local authority's leader was delighted with the programme on BBC Scotland absolutely fascinating.

"I thought our staff came across very positively as caring and committed, even in difficult circumstances.

"Time and again, the programme shone a light on the issues councils face. It’s well known that across Scotland, as well as in Fife, we have a shortage of housing, a roads maintenance backlog and areas in need of regeneration".

He added: “We have a large budget but not enough to do everything we’d like and keep delivering all the same services in the same way. One of the questions we have to grapple with is how to balance strategic investment in things like housing, care and roads with the needs of local communities, to build a fairer Fife".

He asked the question: "Do you think communities should have more say in how money is spent in villages and towns?" And was on Facebook on Friday 9th to hear your views or any questions you people had on this.”

There’s no time that suits everyone so if you can’t join Cllr Ross on Facebook tomorrow lunchtime, you can leave a question in advance and he’ll pick up as many as possible – mark your post, tweet or email #cllrQs #thecouncil
