PHINGASK WASTE WATER PLANT VISITED
SNP Scottish Parliament candidate Stewart Stevenson and Buchan North councillor Mitchell Burnett have visited the Scottish Water waste water treatment plant at Phingask, Fraserburgh, following a meeting with Sandhaven & Pitullie Community Council last night.
The Community Council had expressed concern over recent emissions of foul odours from the treatment plant.
Speaking after the visit, Mr Stevenson said:
“Clearly there has been a lot of money invested in leading-edge technology for the treatment of waste water. I was very impressed by the steps taken by the water authority to ensure safety and a clean environment.
“It is disappointing that there has been an incident resulting in an emissions release recently and I hope that there will be no recurrence.
“I encouraged management to engage with the local community to ensure that they had the opportunity as I had to understand the efforts being made at the plant. I will be monitoring the situation to ensure that there is no repeat of the recent incident but I am confident that Scottish Water staff are doing all they can to keep this risk to an absolute minimum.”
