Vandals have attacked properties alongside the A90 dual carriageway between Stonehaven and Aberdeen.

 

Graffiti has been painted in Newtonhill and Portlethen. Within the past few days giant letters have been sprayed on the gable of a farm building beside the Newtonhill flyover. The same graffiti is also on the side of the former petrol station at Hillside, Portlethen.

 

The same letters are also painted under the Queen Elizabeth Bridge over the Dee at Torry, on a building in the Duthie Park in Aberdeen, and on property at Cove. 

 

North Kincardine councillor Ian Mollison said: “I have asked the police to investigate, and I have also reported the incidents to Aberdeenshire Council. The council has powers to enforce graffiti removal, but these costs can be substantial.

 

“Graffiti makes the area look uncared for. Thankfully there are few outbreaks in this area … and we can well do without it.”
