Aberdeenshire Council has announced a drop in information event is to be held as work begins on a new leisure facility.

The sessions have been designed to let residents in Banff and around the Banff Academy know about the forthcoming works, likely disruption and the importance of construction site safety.

FMP Construction will begin work shortly to develop indoor and outdoor sports and community facilities at Banff Academy.

New football pitches will be developed along with running and cycling tracks, upgraded tennis courts, a refurbishment of the PE department and swimming pool.

A new pavilion and football pitches will be created in Macduff and the existing pavilion at Canal park, Banff will be renovated.

Construction in Macduff will begin in October. Currently, preparatory works are taking place.
