Last week Aberdeenshire Councillors approved changes to tariffs at Pay and Display car parks in Aberdeenshire. A spokes person
said: “The changes, which have been the subject of extensive consultation, are designed to cover the cost of operating the car parks,
as well as supporting town centres. It includes the removal of free periods, where they exist, though the vast majority of parking in
Aberdeenshire’s towns – around 70% continues to be free.
The relationship between car parking and town centres is a complex one – effective management of car parking through a range of
measures can play a positive role in supporting a town centre.
A working group of local Councillors and expert transportation officers looked closely at the issues in Aberdeenshire and came up
with a proposal to remove free periods and alter tariffs to encourage longer stays in local town centres.”
After spending the last two years illegally extorting money out of hard pressed Peterhead town centre traders on the back of a highly
rigged election which despite a massive con job was not supported by more 70% of Peterhead town centre traders and would not
have succeed without the Council votes, the Council is not only sending sheriff officers to traders’ doors telling them they are about
to be liquidated and bankrupted by the Council but the Council is now removing free parking from the town centre.
Peterhead Councillor Alan S. Buchan, who is also a town centre trader, said, Peterhead town centre traders are being crippled by the
treatment they are receiving from a totally out of touch gangster Council. Pretending to help town centre businesses by extorting
money from them under threats of bankruptcy and liquidation has now been added to by the Council lies that ‘70% of parking is
free” in Peterhead. Meanwhile, the Council are removing the free hour parking from the car parks is another crippling blow for
Peterhead town centre. 70% of the car parks may be free in Inverurie but this is not the case in Peterhead. There is only one free
car park in Peterhead which is useless to town centre traders and their customers as it is occupied each working day by Council staff.
Cllr. Buchan continued, by saying that he was instrumental in putting the free hour parking into Peterhead and other towns when he
was vice chair of ISC six years ago. At that time it was recognized that although there would be a cost, it would be more than out
weighed by the boost it would give local traders trying to compete with the large free car parks of the supermarkets. The free first
hour saw car park use increase by more than 200% but this success story is now being crushed by an anti-Peterhead Council.

DRIVE ON THE LEFT CAMPAIGN
Police Scotland and Road Safety Scotland were joined at
tourist hotspot Urquhart Castle, Inverness, today by
members of the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing
Association (BVRLA), along with local MSP, Kate
Forbes, to launch a new campaign to remind motorists to
‘Drive on the Left’ when visiting Scotland.
Latest figures record ‘inexperience of driving on the left’
as a contributory factor in 65 accidents and, following a
number of serious collisions last year, the campaign is designed
to coincide with the peak tourist season in Scotland,
encouraging visitors to enjoy Scottish roads safely.
Road Safety Scotland produces a ‘Driving in Scotland’
tourist information leaflet addressing issues faced by those
who are not used to the concept of driving on the left or
single track roads and, through a nationwide partnership
with the BVRLA, the new look leaflet will be distributed
when picking up a hire car and an electronic version will
be issued at the time of booking. Hire car users will also be
given a ‘Drive on the Left’ wristband, to be worn on their
left wrist, available in eight different languages (English,
French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Hindi, Chinese
and Japanese), and ‘Drive on the Left’ in-car stickers will
be distributed via car rental companies to both remind and
prompt tourists to drive on the left

New kerbside collection service pilot starts in Mintlaw,
before rolling out to other areas of Aberdeenshire
After changes to the kerbside collection of recycling and waste were agreed by councillors last month, Mintlaw will be
one of the first areas to pilot the new service.
A new approach is being taken to push up Aberdeenshire’s recycling rate and send less waste to landfill, ahead of strict
recycling targets and national restrictions on the use of landfill.
The pilot, which starts later this month, will be used to gather real-life data on the performance of the new service. It is
also a chance for the council to work with residents to resolve any issues before it is rolled out to other areas next year.
Under the new system existing bins will be used and one bin and a food waste caddy will continue to be collected every
week. This means:
Week 1 – General waste bins and food waste collected
Week 2 – Recycling bin (blue lid) and food waste collected
Week 3 – Recycling bin (blue lid) and food waste collected
Materials that can be recycled on the kerbside remain the same - the only difference is that the blue-lidded recycling bin
is emptied more often (twice in every three weeks).
Households which are part of the pilot will be contacted by post before it starts.
A drop-in session will also be held at Mintlaw’s MACBI community hub on Wednesday, June 19 from noon-8pm to
give residents in the pilot area a chance to ask questions.
Households are encouraged to give the new service a go – most will find that as long as they fully use the recycling
services available, including the food waste caddy, they will have enough space in the landfill bin.
Aberdeenshire’s recycling rate is 43.7%, but services currently available should allow a rate over 70%.

GROSSLY EXCESSIVE
SPEEDING INCIDENTS
Two motorists have been
charged in relation to
alleged dangerous driving
in the Mintlaw and
Peterhead areas after being
detected driving at grossly
excessive speed by Road
Policing Officers carrying
out checks in an unmarked
vehicle.
A 29 year old man was
stopped for driving at
109mph on the A952
Mintlaw to Cortes road at
around 7pm on
Wednesday, 12 June.
Later that evening at
around 10.20pm a 17 year
old man was stopped for
driving at 65mph in a
30mph limit at South Road
in Peterhead.
At the time of these
incidents the road surface
was wet following heavy
rain and driving conditions
were poor.
Both drivers have been
charged in relation to alleged
dangerous driving
and will be reported to the
Procurator Fiscal.
Road Policing Sergeant
Andy Ramsay said: "It is
extremely disappointing to
find that within the space
of a few hours two
motorists were stopped for
driving at extremely high
speed, particularly given
the poor weather and road
conditions at the time. Regardless
of the weather
conditions, any error at
such high speed would almost certainly result in serious
injury at the very least. If convicted of dangerous
driving motorists will face a driving ban, a criminal
record, and most likely a substantial fine or the
possibility of a prison sentence.
"Speed limits are there for a reason and should not be
regarded as a target. If the conditions are poor adjust
your driving and reduce your speed accordingly.
"Road Casualty Reduction is an absolute priority for
Police Scotland and we will continue to carry out
operations to promote road safety. If you have
concerns these can be reported to us on 101. In an
emergency always dial 999."

UNION DEMANDS THAT SCHOOL MEALS MUST MAKE IT SCOTTISH
Scottish Government must deliver on its commitment to create a ‘Good Food Nation’ by guaranteeing that
every school meal, where possible, is made entirely from fresh, tasty Scottish produce.
Responding to the publication of a Scottish Government report on nutritional requirements for food and drink
in schools, NFUS is calling on Scottish Government to insist that local authorities prioritise local produce
when preparing their school menus. Given that the timetable for change set by Scottish Government is autumn
2020, the process of sourcing and securing local produce for school meals to be served in 15 months’
time must start now.
The Union points out that Scottish Government runs the risk of scoring a massive own goal if changes to
school meal nutritional requirements do not support its Good Food Nation ambition and results in more meal
imported produce appearing on menus, coming at a higher environmental cost, additional food miles and poorer
production standards.
As well as urging Scottish Government to drive a higher inclusion of Scottish produce on menus, there’s also
the opportunity to link that to a better understanding for pupils of where the food has come from and how it’s
produced. That is an ambition that NFU Scotland and Scottish Government share.
NFU Scotland President Andrew McCornick said: “The overall benefit to Scotland of a healthy, well-fed
nation with a thriving food and drink industry cannot be understated. Scotland is home to producers of the best
beef, lamb, soft fruit and vegetables, milk, eggs, pigs, poultry, crops and potatoes. The raw material of
Scottish-produced food and drink is sustainable, healthy and nutritious.
“Headline-grabbing dietary recommendations around consumption levels of processed red meat in the diet are
not new but Scottish Government’s intention to write these into school meal requirements by next autumn
must be used as an opportunity.
“Red meat, whether process or unprocessed, is a valued source of high-quality, natural protein, vitamins and
minerals and if it is truly committed to being a Good Food Nation, then Scottish Government must insist that
every gram of red meat on the school menu – in whatever form - should be Scotch.
“In the same vein, as valuable protein and nutrient sources, Scottish milk, eggs and chicken should be the first
choice. Continued on Page 13

DOG OWNERS ENCOURAGED TO ‘TAKE THE PLEDGE’
Dog owners across Scotland are being encouraged by NFU Scotland to ‘take the pledge’ to be responsible when walking their pets
on farmland. Last week, as thousands of people descended on the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston, Edinburgh, the Union engaged
with as many pet owners as possible, handing out free poo bags and posters. As part of this, the Union will be asking people to sign
a pledge board and publicise on social media that they have committed to being responsible when walking on farmland as part of its
popular 12-month Control Your Dog on Farmland campaign.
In addition to this, there will be the chance to take a selfie with our Ambassa-dog, with a competition to win prizes throughout the
four days. The key messages of the campaign, which has seen various local initiatives and wide-spread support, are aimed at farmers
and dog owners and include:
1) Be informed – know your responsibilities under the Code
2) Plan ahead – know your route, ensure you have poo bags and a lead
3) Control your pet - keep dogs on a lead around livestock. Know the steps to take if things don’t go to plan – cattle charging,
dog escapes?
4) Don’t leave it hanging - picking up your dog’s poo is not enough, take it with you and put it in a bin, even if on the fringes
of farmland. Do not just ‘flick it’ into the bushes.
By taking the pledge, signatories will be committing to following these key messages and obligations when walking on farmland.
In early December, NFU Scotland surveyed farmers, crofters and landowners about the issues they have with irresponsible access,
either through livestock worrying by dogs, or the impacts of owners failing to pick up after their pets on or near farmland. The
survey had more than 340 responses, which showed that:
• 72 per cent of respondents had an issue with livestock worrying on their land
• 100 per cent of survey respondents said they have an issue with dog fouling on their land – this included plastic bag pollution as
well as instances where livestock have contracted diseases from eating dog poo and plastic bags.
NFU Scotland President Andrew McCornick commented: “Many people underestimate the damage dogs can do – whether that is
attacking livestock when being off a lead or causing them to contract dangerous diseases through their poo – we need dog owners to
take responsibility for controlling their dogs.
“By taking the pledge, dog owners can show their support to our campaign and help us spread the word about taking responsibility
to control their dog when walking on farmland – whether they live, work or visit the countryside throughout the year.
“Attacks on livestock are happening all too often and we need the support of local dog owners to help prevent this. You think your
dog is ‘just playing’ with the sheep but that could change in an instant and you will have no way to stop the dog when it starts to
attack.

Scottish Government to ensure that, where possible, the high-quality fruit and veg grown here in Scotland is prioritised.
“And it goes without saying that, given our reputation for quality potatoes, that whether chipped, boiled or mashed, the
tatties that appear on school dinner plates deserve to be Scottish.
“Getting Scottish food onto Scottish school menus needn’t present a challenge. We spearheaded a project in Tayside
schools last year that will put more Scotch lamb on school menus in that area this year. That shows what can be
achieved and can be applied to all food groups. That approach, driven by Scottish Government, should be rolled out
across all local authority areas as clear commitments to using fresh, tasty local produce can work. Setting up
those chains must start now”,

FASD HUB LAUNCHED
FASD Hub Scotland is a new service which has been launched
last week by Adoption UK Scotland for parents and carers of
children and young people who were - or are suspected of
having been - exposed to alcohol during pregnancy, a condition
known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
The service extends to offer information, support and training to
relevant professionals who support these families.
FASD is an umbrella term that describes a range of irreversible
and lifelong physical, emotional and developmental delays that
may affect a person as a result of being exposed to alcohol
during pregnancy.
The UK has the fourth highest level of prenatal alcohol use in
the world, and around three quarters of looked-after children are
deemed at risk (McQuire, Mukerjee et al 2018).
FASD is a disability which often remains hidden or
misunderstood by the wider population. This condition is the
most common cause of neurodisability in the Western world and
presents around 3-6 times the rate of Autism Spectrum Disorder
in the UK (McGruer 2018).
A recent UK based study showed up to 17% of children
screened had symptoms consistent with FASD (McQuire,
Mukherjee et al 2018). Within Scotland FASD may affect up to
6% of children and young people (McGruer 2018). Despite this,
people with FASD are also often misdiagnosed with similar or
co-morbid conditions, or not diagnosed at all.
FASD Hub Scotland will provide direct support services for
people affected by, or living with, FASD. The service includes
an information helpline, advocacy support, an online peer
support community, workshops and training programmes.
FASD Hub Scotland has three dedicated staff. Project Lead
Aliy Brown said: “We’re delighted that Adoption UK Scotland
is further developing our support services in Scotland with the
establishment of FASD Hub Scotland. We cannot cure FASD,
but many people can live very successfully with it, if provided
with the right support at the right time.”
Adoptive parent Judith reflects, “Six years ago when my son
was diagnosed with FASD I was given no information about the
condition or where I could go for help and advice. At that time,
I knew of no other parent or carer in the same position and I felt
very alone and isolated. It’s great to see the establishment of
FASD Hub Scotland which will serve as a central point for
parents/carers looking for information, support and a network of
other parents and carers who ‘get it’.”
Public Health Minister Joe FitzPatrick said: “A diagnosis of
FASD is difficult for families and we can’t underestimate the
challenges each diagnosis brings.
“We know that there is a high incidence of care experienced and
adopted children living with this condition but more importantly
we also know that with the right care and support, children can
go on to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
“That is why I am delighted that by working in partnership with
Adoption UK Scotland to create the FASD Hub Scotland,
tailored support for children and families is now available.
“We are also supporting training this week for a range of health
professionals to gain better consistency for diagnosis, led by an
internationally renowned expert team from Manitoba. It is vital
that we recognise the needs of this group of children and young
people and ensure that the right support is available to them and
their families when they most need it.”
The project has received funding of £140,000 from the Scottish
Government, for an initial three-year period.

Last week, funding partners, projects and young people
came together to celebrate the launch of The Listening Fund
(TLF) Scotland.
TLF Scotland is a partnership between Comic Relief,
Gannochy Trust, The National Lottery Community Fund,
William Grant Foundation and Corra Foundation. The fund
aims to put children and young people in the driving seat of
shaping services, by supporting charities to create a culture
of listening.
“At the National Lottery Community Fund we listen,
collaborate and fund so that great things happen. We’re
delighted to be one of the main supporters of The Listening
Fund which will create new and exciting ways to help
young people in Scotland amplify their voice. Each of the
twelve organisations selected to take part are already working with young people in creative and interesting ways and I
look forward to following their progress over the lifetime of the fund.” National Lottery Community Fund Scotland
Chair Maureen McGinn
Learning by listening is the thread that will run through TLF Scotland activity. As part of funding partners commitment
to ‘practice what they preach’, conversations with young people helped to inform the development phase of TLF,
shaping the final criteria and application process.
“It is fantastic for Corra to be part of this funding collaborative in Scotland that recognises young people are experts in
their own lives and by listening to their experiences and ideas both the funders and projects can help to enable positive
change.” Carolyn Sawers, Deputy Chief Executive, Corra Foundation
The 12 successful projects received a share of circa £342,000 to further embed the voices and values of children and
young people in to their practice.
The launch event brought the funded projects and the young people they support together to contribute ideas on how we
can all listen better. The event was also an opportunity to learn from emerging insights from TLF in England which
began funding 22 projects in 2018. This sister fund shares the same aim of amplifying the voices of young people
through enhanced listening and participation.
For more information about the 12 projects supported through TLF Scotland as well as view a collection of resources
exploring young people led change, power and voice, online visit https://scotland.thelisteningfund.org/our-partners/
