Catterline, Kinneff & Dunnottar Community Council

The Stonehaven Community Learning & Development team covers the area including the town of Stonehaven, the coastal villages of Catterline, Inverbervie, Gourdon and Johnshaven and inland villages of Kinneff and Drumlithie.

The role of community learning and development is to empower individuals, groups and communities. Learning opportunities are offered in a variety of ways – through group work, casual conversation, one-on-one sessions, and community action – making learning accessible for everyone.

BT Openreach has just submitted a planning application to Aberdeenshire Council for the location of a new Broadband Cabinet at Roadside of Catterline adjacent to the exchange (Application 2016/2022). There is a statement submitted with the Application which explains that the new cabinet is part of the infrastructure required to upgrade Catterline exchange subscribers to high speed broadband. Hopefully events will move swiftly now.

Please note the following extract from BT's website re the above.

Fibre broadband is not currently available in this area.

Digital Scotland plans to extend fibre broadband coverage in this area. Work under the Digital Scotland programme means that the first premises in this area are currently expected to receive fibre broadband in the period July to December 2016. Please note that engineering plans and delivery timescales depend on many factors and can be subject to change. All information is based on the best view we have today using our current plans. If you would like us to contact you when fibre broadband becomes available in your postcode area or to receive a copy of our regular newsletter, register your details at http://www.digitalscotland.org/newsletter-signup.

Please see attached for details of road closures and diversions. Each road closure is planned to be 2 days duration, weather permitting.

As very few applications were received at the last Community Council meeting, there is still a balance of £150 to be allocated to community projects. Please contact the CC secretary if you have a project which you would like us to consider.
