The Aberdeen bypass, planning and noticeboards were among the issues discussed tonight by North Kincardine Rural Community Council. Ten members of the public watched – and participated – in the discussions.
The AWPR was as ever a major cause of concern especially regarding the impact on local roads: potholes and damaged verges. Residents were urges to report all potholes as any future claims for damage will be valid only if that is so.
The meeting was assured that Aberdeenshire Council will be expecting the road construction joint venture companies to contribute to the costs of returning the roads to a reasonable standard. Reference was also made to an extension to the 50mph average speed cameras to cover Charleston to Stonehaven.
The North Deeside Road junction with the B979 at Milltimber Bridge was condemned as being bewildering for drivers.
It will be 10 years on 16 April since Lairhillock primary school opened.
The community council committed to keep noticeboards at Corbie Hall, Banchory Devenick School and Lairhillock School. Noticeboards would be shared at other sites, such as Cookney Hall and St Ternan’s Church. Existing noticeboards will be removed as they fall into disrepair.
No objections to new planning applications are to be lodged.
An update was given on progress with installing broadband across the area.
There was a warning of thieves siphoning diesel from tanks at unoccupied houses.
Hello Ian,
Regards the potholes matter, I have been for weeks advising Aberdeenshire Council and roads dept of mass deep potholes at Burnhead of Blairs ( with a large amount being near to the crossing and round to Burnhead Cottage). And nothing has been done about this to date.
Is there any chance you can highlight this at your next meeting or advise the council of this?
Best regards
Keith
I will take this up with council roads officers. I saw the problems for myself the other day.
Hi Ian,
It looks like they have now reinstated the potholes….wonder how long they will last with all this additional heavy traffic?
Regards
Keith
Keep on reporting any potholes to the council. The local roads are taking a battering.
