Local MSP On Winter Weather

Banff & Buchan SNP MSP Stewart Stevenson has commented on the early onset of winter with snow hitting the region.

Mr Stevenson said:

“This November cold snap is a reminder of the extremely harsh winter that we faced last year and which gave people weeks of strife with several feet of snow lying in many areas.

“Gritters and snow clearing equipment have already been out in force and I know that salt stockpiles are healthy across the country after the problems last year’s shortages caused.

“As we get the first significant snowfalls in Banff & Buchan it is a good time to remember to check on elderly neighbours and other vulnerable groups who find it especially difficult in this conditions.”
