Main areas with a high cur 4" every 6weeks

A photo call has been planned for 10am on Saturday the 1st of February, adjacent to numbers 193 and 66 Curriehill Castle Drive.

This should only take 5 minutes and we would welcome as many as possible young and older.

Look forward to seeing as many people as possible.
