STONEHAVEN’S second grand spring clean takes place on Thursday, evening, with groups of volunteers helping spruce up the harbour area and High Street and sweep away the winter sands – making the area look its best for locals and summer visitors.
This year’s initiative is well-timed as we will shortly have a visit by the Princess Royal to the town. On Monday, Her Royal Highness will visit the Open Air Swimming Pool, which is celebrating its 90th year this year. And, as Admiral of the Sea Cadet Corps, will open Stonehaven and District Unit’s new Headquarters, TS Carron.
Anyone wishing to join a work party to help with litter picking, weeding and sweeping would be very welcome and should head to the slipway for 6.30pm.
Thursday no parking
To enable the clean up and preparations for the Sea Cadets’ event, and in the interests of public safety there is a prohibition of waiting on both sides of the High Street, from the Cross to Shorehead; and along both sides of Shorehead (for approximately 140m) – for nine hours commencing noon on Thursday May 9.
