As Scottish Water will be carrying out water mains renewal work from Monday there will be parking restrictions in Newtonhill on Newtonhill Road, Elsick Place and Park Place for 30 days, from 10 January.

There will be some disruption to traffic on Monday 7 February when a section of St Crispin’s Road at its junction with Newtonhill Road will be closed for 10 weeks, as part of the same work.

The council’s Roads Services says that emergency and pedestrian access is to be maintained, and access available to affected properties whenever possible.
