In December the Forties oil pipeline sprung a leak at Netherley. As a result the pipeline closed down, attracting nationwide coverage in the media as it affected the UK economy … so it will be interesting to hear on Monday evening what the company which owns the oil pipeline has to North Kincardine Rural Community Council.

The community council has invited representatives from INEOS to present at the meeting. This will allow the community to understand why the leakage happened and what measures have been undertaken to ensure the area is safe.

Everyone is welcome on Monday 19 March at Lairhillock School at 7.30pm, with the ordinary meeting taking place from around 8pm. The agenda and minutes can be found at http://www.nkrcc.org.uk/minutes-page/
