Yesterday the Lochgelly Centre partially opened to the local community. Current facilities available is the local office, library and cafeteria. The library is named Jenny Lee as a fitting tribute to the local creator of the Open University scheme. It is a big improvement on the existing facilities and more spacious. Cafe seems a bit expensive for the local area (£4.75 for a baked potato) but at least they will not provide competition for local businesses (only joking). Other than that, it is looking really good inside. We will try and get some images through the week.
