MSP Visits ITV 'People's Millions' Macduff Contender

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson paid a visit to the Buchan Street Hall in Macduff yesterday to hear more about the hall’s bid for funding as part of the ITV ‘People’s Millions’.

Buchan Street Hall is one of the contenders for the ITV ‘People’s Millions’ which will see the facility go head-to-head on the STV News on 22 November against another good cause from the STV North region. The MSP met with committee members from the Macduff Old Folks’ Association, who own the hall.

Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:

“The Buchan Street Hall is a great community facility which I know is well-regarded locally by the various hall user groups.

“The Committee have some excellent plans for refurbishing and upgrading the hall which will bring it right up to standard, not least of which will see improvements to the kitchen facilities.

“It’s clear to me following my visit that this is a well-used and much valued facility and I wish the committee every success in Monday’s telephone vote.”

The Hay Memorial Hall in Cornhill is also in the running and it will feature on the STV News on 25 November.

Mr Stevenson added:

“I think it’s great that there are two projects from the constituency who have made it through to the final stage. I hope that both projects get a huge amount of support from local people in their respective telephone votes.”
