Continual bad weather has disrupted efforts to carry out investigations on the drainage of Belhelvie Park playing area. Local Councillor Paul Johnston has been pressing for investigations into the drainage from there Park.
“Since around the time of the construction of phase two of the Barratt Homes, drainage in that Park has begun to fail badly. It’s always been a bit damp but there have been too many times when it has become a boating pond rather than a children’s play area and football pitch.”
Aberdeenshire officials have agreed to investigate the drainage said Councillor Johnston.
“There bad weather means that they cannot get the vehicle and digger onto the site to carry out the investigations without getting bogged down and creating a big mess. We now have to hope for better weather and drier conditions in order to find out if the problem can be resolved without major capital expenditure.” said Paul.
The work is thought to be beyond the normal maintenance that would be carried out by the Council’s Landscape staff. The investigation includes roads engineers skilled in drainage work.
