The scheme, which is run through the Fife Council's Social Work service, provides offenders with the opportunity to make amends for crimes committed by carrying out unpaid work in local communities.
Earlier this wee, the City of Dunfermline Area Committee discussed a report on the work of the community payback team, while the local community council and Vice Chair of the City of Dunfermline Area Committee, Councillor Helen Law, welcomed the results of the work.

The work involved:
- repairing the wall at the front of the Community Centre
- tidying the weedy areas around the base of planters in Wilson street
- tidying up Bellyeoman steps
- repainting the tub planters along the Main Street
- building the frames which sit around the large square planter at the ends of the village
- general weeding and tidying.
Councillor Law said: "This has been fantastic for the village and I'd like to thank everyone involved in the project on behalf of the community council and local residents.
"Community payback has made a big difference too across the whole Dunfermline area with over 50 projects from litter picking to garden tidying undertaken. Sterling work has also been carried out at Dunfermline Abbey.
"Many organisations including schools, community centres and local shops are benefitting from which is making a real difference to the area."
