Stevenson Commends Maud Village Christmas Lights Fair

Local SNP MSP Stewart Stevenson has commended the organisers and participants of the Maud Village Christmas Lights Fair.

The event, which took place at the weekend and which was attended by Mr Stevenson and local councillor Norma Thomson was a resounding success and attracted a large number of stallholders and visitors throughout the day.

Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:

“This was an extremely worthwhile community enterprise and I congratulate the organisers and the stall-holders on putting together an excellent event which had something for everyone.

“The comment was made to me that there is a real buzz about Maud these days and I think that is absolutely correct. There is a lot happening in the Buchan villages at the moment and I am enormously heartened by the fact that these events are being driven by the communities themselves. Maud and its near neighbour New Deer are prime examples of this and they deserve their successes.”

SNP councillor for South Buchan Norma Thomson added:

“I thought Saturday’s event was excellent and shows what can be achieved in a small rural village when the community rallies round. I was pleased for the organisers as well that the weather stayed fine for what was in the main an outdoor event.”
