Police Scotland are to step up speed checks at “major locations” around Portlethen, including Bruntland Road. Comments were made at tonight’s community council that some traffic tops 60mph.
Among other topics were:
The planning application by Asda for a replacement petrol station and a new restaurant were outlined by a company representative. He also said that the store will undergo a major refurbishment later this year, costing millions.
The gala has been re-energised by new members on the committee.
A case for the community council joining the Scottish Rural Parliament was not supported on the basis that Portlethen is urban rather than rural.
A special community council meeting – open to the public – will be held on 2 May after a petition was received about the like-for-like replacement of the synthetic pitch at the academy.
I thought all Community Council meetings were ‘open to the public’. From that point of view I think the public support for what the Community Council does on their behalf is extremely bad mannered. Considering some of the comments I hear when I ask “Are you going to Community Council tonight ?, this week ?, or whatever I wonder where the problem is ????
Sometimes the community council holds meetings in private to discuss, for example, matters of a personal nature.
