Foveran Community Newsletter FOVERAN COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER April 2015 Issue 140 The New Boardwalk FOVERAN COMMUNITY COUNCIL First of all I would like to put on record my thanks to Janet Jones, the editor of the newsletter who at short notice pulls all the advertising and articles together into the format to go to the printers. Thanks to the 1st Newburgh Scouts who have taken on the role of delivering in the majority of Newburgh, and to the others who deliver the newsletter to their communities, especially those who deliver up remote farm tracks. Keith Watson and Martin McKenzie put up the Newburgh lights on a really foul day with torrential rain so special thanks to them, and to John Duncan who provided the access platform for the work to be carried out. If you want to place an advert in future editions of the newsletter which is published three times a year then please contact me Foveran Community Council looks after the interest of the residents of Newburgh, Foveran, Udny Station and Cultercullen, and everything in between. With the publication of the corrected boundaries of the Foveran Community Council, the houses at Bridgend and to the West of Udny Station are no longer in our area, so this will be the last issue of the newsletter to them, however it can now be accessed after publication by anyone on https://foverannews.wordpress.com/electronic-news-letter/ We act as a focal point where you can bring to our attention matters that may concern you. Elected councillors from Aberdeenshire Council normally also attend our meetings which are open to all. Agenda’s for the meetings and minutes of the meetings are available on line at www.formartinecommunitycouncils.co.uk A list of community councillors and scheduled meeting dates is on the back page This newsletter would not be possible without the support of the companies who advertise in it, so please consider them when thinking of making a purchase. Gallowshill Sports Hub This is up and running and is available to all, not just the residents of Newburgh The ongoing three subjects that come up at every meeting are these, in no particular order Dog Fouling Litter Speeding Police Scotland are addressing the speeding concerns (and parking at school gates) Those who continue to foul with dog mess, or even worse, bag it then throw the bag away have no respect for the community they live in, or indeed their neighbours. You can report them to our area dog warden Jennifer Senior and she can be contacted on 01467 628195. Perhaps after a few residents have been fined, named, and shamed, then the dog fouling will stop. Aberdeenshire Litter Initiative (ALI) are always looking for volunteer litter pickers to keep our villages clean Newburgh Those who walk the beach and dunes at Newburgh will now see that the wooden boardwalk which was in a serious state of disrepair has been completely replaced by a brand new boardwalk manufactured from recycled plastic, which I am told should last 100 years. Grateful thanks are due to Aberdeenshire Council Outdoor Access Department for this project. They are now hoping to stop horses being ridden up the new boardwalk. The Bankers Bridge from Errol Place to the links has been closed as it is dangerous. Please do not climb over the fence to use it, or remove the fencing Aberdeenshire Council are considering options regarding its future, and have requested a further report as to refurbishment costs. As it is highly likely that the Community Council will be consulted, I need to see what resources we have available to conduct our own thoughts on the state of the bridge If you are a qualified Corrosion Engineer, Structural Engineer, or Civil Engineer and are willing to get involved then please contact me We have requested that the old tennis pavilion be removed and an area suitable for seats be laid in its place Finance was made availably by Aberdeenshire Council from the Developer Obligation funds for the upgrading of heating in the Church Hall, and to supply new goalposts for the Gallows Hill community Sports Hub, and also to replace the netting on the Multi Use games Area The reporter from the Scottish Government visited Knockhall Road to review the application by Scotia for housing, and his decision is anticipated mid to end March Foveran New 5 a side goals have been supplied and we are trying to get some additional grass seeding on the pitch The flooding at the A90 cannot be rectified at present due to the unsafe condition of the embankment. Planning permission has been given for the new Scotia houses, however they cannot be occupied till 2017 when the village will be bypassed and the A90 declassified as a trunk road. Udny Station It is hoped drainage work on the park will commence shortly, full planning permission has been granted for the old Muffin and Crumpet site, and there is the possibility of a new 40 mph speed limit from the B999.

Councillors were asked at a meeting of the Formartine Area Committee in early March to recommend demolition of the bridge, on the grounds that it is thought to be beyond economic repair. However, the report presented to councillors didn’t give any costings for the works required to make the bridge safe again, or give much indication as to how successful any repairs were likely to be. In light of this, I was pleased that the Committee accepted my suggestion to postpone taking a decision until such time as we had a proper costing for any repairs. It’s only once we have this information that councillors and the community as a whole will be able to reach an informed view about how best to proceed. Quite understandably, there is anger with Aberdeenshire Council due to the lack of preventative maintenance carried out on the bridge over the past two decades. The priority now has to be to see just what level of commitment would be involved if the bridge could be repaired, and to get a management plan in place for the other bridges to make sure that they don’t fall into a similar state of disrepair at any point in the future. New Chief Executive In the last newsletter, I wrote a little about the ongoing search for a new Chief Executive for Aberdeenshire Council. I’m very pleased that following our recruitment process, we were able to appoint Jim Savege to the post. Jim, who has now taken up the post, joins Aberdeenshire from Cumbria County Council, where he was the Corporate Director for Environment and Community Services. I’m sure I speak for everyone in wishing him well in his new position. Speeding As a resident of Foveran, I’m all too aware of the tendency of some drivers to speed down the hill onto Blairythan Terrace or ‘put their foot down’ before they get out of the 30 mph zone. This lack of consideration for others’ safety is particularly worrying given the usually quiet nature of the street and the number of local children who cross it on their way to and from the playpark. I approached the local Police Inspector for Formartine to make him aware of these speeding issues and speed checks have now been carried out. Although no-one was caught speeding during those checks, the concern remains. For that reason, I’d urge anyone who sees someone driving at an inappropriate speed to take a note of the vehicle and registration number if possible so that it can be reported to the police. Foveran Playpark Following safety issues raised by residents, I’ve been concerned for some time with the state of the park fence and in particular with the fact that the gates were often left wedged open, making it possible for children to run from the park right out into the road. It was disappointing that when the new fence was installed, no consideration was given to moving the gates so that railings could be installed along the pavement to prevent this from happening. For that reason, I’m delighted to report that persistence here has paid off, and that we will later this year see new safety barriers installed inside the park fence. These should help to stop children from running directly out of the park and onto the road, even if a gate has been wedged open. Burns’ Night Once again, the Burns Season has come and gone. While I enjoy a good Burns’ Supper as much as anyone, given that I usually end up attending, performing or speaking at around half a dozen, it is always a relief to get to the end of January safe in the knowledge that I won’t have to look at another haggis until the same time next year! The highlight for me this year was once again attending and playing the fiddle at the Foveran Primary School Burns’ Supper, held in the village hall. Pupils of all ages came along with their parents and extended families to sing, dance and recite the Bard’s verses.

  • Church of Scotland Records Held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives
    CHURCH OF SCOTLAND RECORDS HELD BY ABERDEEN CITY AND ABERDEENSHIRE ARCHIVES A GUIDE CONTENTS INTRODUCTION i ABERDEEN PRESBYTERY RECORDS 1 ST NICHOLAS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 4 GREYFRIARS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 12 NIGG KIRK SESSION RECORDS 18 ABERDEEN SYNOD RECORDS 19 ST CLEMENTS KIRK SESSION 20 JOHN KNOX KIRK SESSION RECORDS 23 INTRODUCTION Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives holds various records relating to the Church of Scotland in Aberdeen. The records are held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives on behalf of the National Archives of Scotland under what is known as ‘Charge and Superintendence’. When the Church of Scotland deposited its records in Edinburgh, a decision was made that where there were suitable repositories, local records would be held in their area of origin. As a result, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives was designated as a suitable repository and various records were returned to the city. Microfilm copies of the majority of the original volumes can be viewed in the National Archives in Edinburgh. All Church of Scotland records begin with the reference CH2 followed by the number allocated to that particular church. For example, St Nicholas is referenced 448, therefore the full reference number for the records of the St Nicholas Kirk Session is CH2/448 followed by the item number. If you wish to look at any of the records, please note the reference number (this always starts with CH2 for records relating to the Church of Scotland) and take care to ensure the record you wish to view covers the correct dates. You do not need to note the description of the item, only the reference, but please ensure you have identified the correct item.

  • August 2019 Newsletter
    August 2019 Newsletter Firstly, thanks very much to you all for your interest and joining Grampian Cycle Partnership! We have been overwhelmed by the many really kind and supportive comments we have received to date. We are absolutely committed to working positively for cycling across the north east. GCP truly believe we can encourage more people to take up cycling or cycle more by working constructively together with the army of committed and enthusiastic people already doing some fantastic pieces of work across the City, Shire and Moray. Over the last few months, GCP has been meeting with partners and other stakeholders on several projects as well as being involved in ongoing cycling issues for the region. We are taking this time to review what’s going on and tell you what we have been up to. We genuinely think it’s an exciting time for cycling in the area and GCP’s partners have been at the forefront. Please find below some information on what we’ve been involved with so far. Westhill to Aberdeen cycle path An initial open meeting was held with cyclists who use this path to discuss the issues and set up a working project group to document these issues and work with the councils to develop the improvements to this important corridor. This cycle path continues to be among the busiest routes in the whole of the north east. Stonehaven to Aberdeen cycle path At our last meeting we committed to form a similar group for the links to and from the City from the south.

We believe that this development has the potential to overcome many of these issues and make Foveran a destination for modern living. Foveran sits in the heart of the new Energetica and Strategic Growth Corridors, therefore is ideally located for investment and development. We would like to assist in bringing this disjointed community together to create a village with new employment opportunities, modern amenities and a school with updated facilities.

  • 24 Sedimentology of the Ythan Estuary, Beach and Dunes, Newburgh Area
    24 SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE YTHAN ESTUARY, BEACH AND DUNES, NEWBURGH AREA N. H. TREWIN PURPOSE The object of the excursion is to examine recent sedimentological features of the Ythan estuary and adjacent coast. Sedimentary environments include sheltered estuarine mud flats, exposed sandy beach and both active and stabilised wind blown sand dunes. Many of the sedimentary features to be described are dependent on local effects of tides, winds and currents. The features described are thus not always present, and the area is worth visiting under different weather conditions particularly during winter. ACCESS Most of the area described lies within the Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve and all notices concerning access must be obeyed, particularly during the nesting season of terns and eider ducks (Apr.-Aug.) when no access is possible to some areas. Newburgh is 21 km (13 miles) north of Aberdeen via the A92 and the A975. Parking for cars is available at the layby by locality 1 at [NK 006 2831], and on the east side of Waterside Bridge for localities 2-8 (Fig. 1). Alternatively the area can be reached by a cliff top path from The Nature Reserve Centre at Collieston and could be visited in conjunction with Excursion 13. Localities 9- 10 can be reached from the beach car park at [NK 002 247] at the end of the turning off the A975 at the Ythan Hotel. There is a single coach parking space at the parking area at Waterside bridge, but the other parking areas are guarded by narrow entrances to prevent occupation by travellers with caravans.

  • Foveran Links SSSI NCA Review – Earth Sciences
    Foveran Links SSSI: NCA Review (Assessment of Geomorphology) Foveran Links SSSI NCA Review – Earth Sciences Dr Alistair Rennie Page 1 Doc ID: A1882825 Foveran Links SSSI: NCA Review (Assessment of Geomorphology) Summary and Recommendation: 1. The construction of Menie Links Golf Course within Foveran Links SSSI has removed the vast majority of the geomorphological interest within the vicinity of the golf course. Therefore there are insufficient scientific interests to merit a geomorphological SSSI within the Menie Links. Given the absence of the supporting geomorphological processes, this analysis suggests that the ecological designation is untenable within the foot print of the golf course. 2. The earth science interests remain within the GCR site within the northern half of Forvie Links. 3. Two of the SSSI’s most striking features have been destroyed: 99% of the Menie sand sheet has been lost as a result of the golf course, 90% of the Sandend Burn sand sheet has also been lost. 4. Whilst not pre-judging the ecological advice, my recommendation is that de-designation of the Menie Links part of the SSSI is justified based on the loss of landforms and processes, and that a new southern boundary for the SSSI is considered further north, either coincident with the GCR site or from Drums Burn to incorporate ecological interests within the southern part of Foveran Links.
