Cruden Cllr Comments on Flooding

Commenting after visiting areas of Cruden bay affected by flooding earlier today, Peterhead South & Cruden councillor Stephen Smith said:

“It’s clearly been a worrying time for local residents. Thankfully, there was no repeat of the flooding which affected Morrison Place several years ago, although the Water of Cruden was at a very high level when I was there.

“Main Street was less fortunate and several houses were affected but speaking to local residents there it seems that the problem stems from a burn in the Castle Woods which needs clearing and I’ll be speaking to SEPA and council officials to investigate that.”
