Aberdeenshire Council, save the old Mearns Academy playing fields!

The Issue

Laurencekirk Development Trust are looking to our community for support in retaining the playing fields for use by Laurencekirk and the wider Mearns community.

  • Let us not lose further green space, up to three playing fields: a valuable asset to our town and neighbouring communities
  • We have a growing community that requires health and well-being support
  • Already adjacent to the new Mearns Community Campus which currently is not equipped with grass playing fields
  • Danger if we do not take control the site could be used for further housing
  • Competitive events in archery, football, rugby, hockey and athletics are anticipated, bringing visitors and therefore trade to Laurencekirk
