Stevenson Checks Health Of Fraserburgh Development Trust

Banffshire & Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson visited Fraserburgh Development Trust (FDT) on Friday and found the organisation was in excellent health.

The MSP was taken on a tour of The Hub in the town's High Street by directors and management of FDT and took the opportunity to have a quick 'health check' at the NHS Grampian Healthpoint located there.

The Hub was previously a semi-derelict building which FDT have completely refurbished with funding from the Scottish Government's Town Centre Regeneration Fund.

The Fraserburgh Development Trust is a membership-led charity, formed by the Fraserburgh community for the purpose of improving, sustaining and regenerating the local community.  The main goal of FDT is to work with the community to bring improvements to Fraserburgh and its surrounding area. 

Commenting after his visit, Stewart Stevenson MSP said:

"The members, directors and management at Fraserburgh Development Trust are to be congratulated on what they have achieved here at The Hub.

"A previously semi-derelict building in the town's High Street has not only been transformed to a vibrant community facility but has substantially improved one of the most visible run-down buildings in the centre of Fraserburgh.

"FDT also briefed me on their current projects and future plans, all of which are very exciting indeed.

"In common with many other towns across the country at the moment, Fraserburgh is not without its problems, but the key to addressing these is positive community engagement of exactly the sort we've seen from FDT.

"I wish them continuing success with their efforts on behalf of Fraserburgh and district."
