Tonight saw the annual general meeting of Newtonhill, Muchalls and Cammachmore Community Council. There still are two vacancies for residents to represent Newtonhill – any volunteers? One evening once a month.
Rob Peaker, Sheila Usher and Mariana Yarnold will serve a three year term representing Newtonhill, and Moira Cameron, Alison Daniels, and Edith Stephen will represent Muchalls over the same period. The office-bearers were re-elected with the exception of the vice-chairperson’s post which was not filled. Lesley Brown and Rhoda Nelson have stepped down after many years of valuable service.
As ever a wide range of issues were discussed:
– The new seat on the path south of the Braehead at Newtonhill.
– Scottish Water has promised to move the grey switching cabinet at the Braehead. A smaller box will replace it and the cabinet will be moved to the west of the beach path.
– Work is to take place on the path from Elsick Mill to the Retreat in Newtonhill from w/c 20 March for three weeks. The path will be closed.
– Beware of delays on the A90 southbound at Stonehaven because of single lane contraflow traffic as AWPR teams replace the flyover over the B979 Netherley Road.
– An objection is to be lodged following an application for planning permission for an annex to Dunlukin at east Cammachmore.
– Objections and comments have been lodged about changes to bus timetables affecting Newtonhill.
– Some £25,000 is being spent on play equipment in Newtonhill Park.
– An hourly train service is proposed for all stations between Inverurie and Montrose, however a Newtonhill station is still an aspiration.
– Work will take place again this summer to tackle Japanese knotweed in the valley of the Elsick Burn.
