The Banff and Buchan Community Planning Group brings together, on a regular basis, local services with our local communities to share their knowledge, skills and resources to help identify and address the needs and concerns of the Banff and Buchan area. We hope that with your support we can build on our achievements and that, based on what has been achieved to date, you will let us have your ideas on new priorities that we should consider in the future. By letting us know what you want you can help to influence the way the Community Planning Partners respond to the aspirations and needs of the people and communities in Banff & Buchan.

Yellow weather warning issued for tomorrow (Tuesday) morning for SNOW and ICE through to Thursday morning πŸ‘‡πŸ‘€

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice that may continue into Thursday. Our gritters were out on Sunday evening to treat all routes and again from 5:30 this morning to treat all primary routes.

More information about our gritting processes, primary and secondary routes, and treatments here: https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/roads/winter-maintenance/gritting-routes/

As always, with the colder weather, there is a risk of ice so please be careful out there and drive to the conditions you find yourself in.

Advice and tips on staying safe in adverse weather can be found via the Met Office’s website, including staying safe in icy, wintry weather: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/seasonal-advice

For live updates on trunk roads treatment (A90, A96 and the A92 from Stonehaven Junction to Charleston Junction) visit the Traffic Scotland website.

On the myAberdeenshire app, view live feeds from snow gates and maps of gritter routes and gritter vehicles’ status. Our gritter route list is colour-coded accessibility and to show the status of gritter routes and snow gates.
