TOPPING WELCOMES SUPPORT FOR BROCH HARBOUR
>> 6 December 2010
Fraserburgh SNP councillor Brian Topping has welcomed the announcement from the Scottish Government that Fraserburgh Harbours are to receive £600,000 in grant funding.
The grant, which is to be used to undertake repairs to the piers, was announced by Fisheries Secretary Richard Lochhead during his recent visit to the town.
Councillor Topping, who is also a commissioner on Fraserburgh Harbour Board, said:
“This is obviously essential work which must be carried out and will be of immense benefit to harbour users and fishermen.
“I look forward to the commencement of the works which will further secure the Broch’s position as one of Europe’s pre-eminent ports.”
