About a dozen members of the public attended tonight’s North Kincardine Rural Community Council meeting when two representatives from INEOS talked about the Forties oil pipeline drama over the winter at Netherley.
They outlined what had caused the problem – the pipeline had acquired a dent from resting on a large granite boulder causing some seepage. A 10ft long 2 1/2 tonne sleeve has been wrapped round the section. They apologised for the disruption caused to residents, and donations had been made to the Cookney Hall and Lairhillock School.
The community council also had a presentation from a local police officer which covered a wide range of issues from unlicensed cars, to opportunistic car thefts and the drugs trade.
The profits from the annual community council / South Deeside View plant sale and coffee morning will be split between the Mucky Boots nature kindergarten and Maryculter Driving for the Disabled. It takes place on Saturday 19 May at the Corbie Hall at Maryculter.
