Peterhead SNP Councillors Welcome New Sports Pitches

Local football teams will come together tonight to celebrate the opening of new sports pitches in Peterhead after facilities at Catto Park received a significant upgrade over the summer.

As part of an investment of around £800,000 by Aberdeenshire Council, the all-weather pitch and grass football pitch have been replaced, with new surfaces, drainage, floodlights and fencing installed.

A mini-football tournament involving teams from Peterhead Boys’ Club and local primary schools will take place on Monday 17 October (tonight) from 6.00pm.

Commenting, Peterhead North & Rattray SNP councillor Anne Allan said:

“I’m delighted to see these new pitches opening following the upgrading works and pleased that local teams will now be playing on top quality pitches.”

Chair of the Buchan Area Committee and councillor for Peterhead South & Cruden Stuart Pratt added:

“This is good news for the town and while the facilities should have been upgraded some time ago, I’m very pleased we are now seeing progress on a range of things from the Catto Park pitches to plans for a new Peterhead Academy to regeneration funding for the town.”
