Work to tidy up the area around Carnie and bring the All Weather Pitch (AWP) up to a better standard is ongoing.  I met with Leisure Officers last week to discuss a plan of action. The lights should be back in operation over the next few weeks. We are hoping to get all interested community groups together in January to gauge demand and gather ideas on how to best use the site. In the meantime, I have spoken with the building company who have fenced off a quantity of building material in the car park while they do remedial work on the estate and they assure me that this will be removed over the coming week or so. Quite separately, there has now been some fly-tipping in the car park. This has been reported to Aberdeenshire Council Waste service. If you have any information on who left it there, please get in touch. I have also asked that the glass recycling area be tidied up and the unauthorised advertising sign be taken down.

This is an unsupervised area and it is a shame that it has been left in a mess. Bottles are still being dumped at the side of the pitch despite bins being provided. Dogs are still being exercised on the pitch. We need to get it tidied up and bring the pitch and the surrounding area up to a good standard so that it becomes a well-used community facility.

If you want to be involved in the project please get in touch so that you can be kept on the mailing list for any forthcoming meetings.
