Speeding is a thorny problem often raised by the three community councils in the North Kincardine ward. Newtonhill’s community council, for example, raised concerns this week about vehicles speeding on Newtonhill Road.

Aberdeenshire Council is considering buying speeding indicating devices which would be used in different locations on a rolling basis.

The infrastructure services committee was told today that cost estimation work is underway in parallel to developing a plan for the potential roll out of 20mph limits across Aberdeenshire towns.

Council officers have also contacted Police Scotland over speeding in our communities.

A report with proposals for speed enforcement will come before a future meeting of the committee.
