Inaugural meeting minutes

Minutes of the inaugural meeting of the Powburn Stop Speeding! Campaign are now available.

The purpose of the first Public Meeting was to gauge residents’ interest and to decide what action could be taken to prevent a serious or fatal accident occurring on our roads – especially the A697 that runs right through Powburn Village.

It was clear from the number of people who attended the meeting, and for their many comments and suggestions, that this issue causes great concern.
