Turriff Councillor Welcomes Funding Award for Improvements at the Haughs

Turriff and District councillor Alastair Forsyth has welcomed the funding award of £72,274 for The Haughs Improved Access Project in the town.

The award is for Stage 1 of a long-term regeneration masterplan for The Haughs, designed to improve year-round access and connectivity across, to and from this key open space in Turriff. Considerable work has been undertaken to identify key improvement areas and engage with the community. This stage will address some of the underlying structural weaknesses of the area including enhanced lighting, accessibility improvements to the A947 underpass and shared path improvements.

Commenting, Turriff and District SNP councillor Alastair Forsyth said:

“I am delighted that The Haughs has attracted over £72,000 of funding for improvements.

“The community have been engaged for some time now to drive forward the ambitions of the town. The Haughs is the recreational hub for Turriff catering for all sorts of sport and leisure activity and this funding will reward the hard work by the community and the volunteers who help improve the safety and amenity of the area and make Turriff a good place to live and visit.”
