Police set for community events

Police will hold two community events in the area this week.

The sessions are planned in partnership with Formartine councillors and community councils, as well as the local authority to assist with housing, health or roads-related queries.

This weeks' surgeries will be held in Ellon on Wednesday between 4pm-6pm in the Marriage Room, Council Building, Bridge Street.

On Thursday the session will be held in Turriff Primary School, Meadowbank Road, between 4pm-6pm.

Local Inspector Andy Scott said: "While there are already accessible means by which the public can contact us, many people often don't want to attend at a police station, or are not comfortable using social media where we publicise information.

"I hope that these events encourage people who have concerns to attend so that the most relevant agency can assist."
