Praise For Village Trust From MSP & Councillor

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson and Buchan South councillor Norma Thomson have praised Maud Village Trust for their efforts to rejuvenate the village by regenerating the former Aberdeen & Northern Marts site.


The regeneration, which is currently underway, will see a range of facilities in place once completed including supported accommodation, community resources and health care, as well as creating employment.

Speaking following a visit to Maud this week, Stewart Stevenson said:

"I was delighted to see the progress being made with the regeneration of the old mart site during my visit.

"The Village Trust have already created a very attractive garden area with public seating and the work which is happening onsite now will help to put the heart back into Maud.

"The Maud Village Trust is to be congratulated for their commitment to the project, which is of vital importance for the future of the village."

Maud councillor Norma Thomson added:

"It's taken a lot of hard work on the part of a lot of volunteers to get where they are now, but the village can now see the structure of the regeneration taking place.

"I am pleased that the project is moving forward and the facilities which will be in place once completed will be a tremendous asset to Maud."
