Updated 14 January 22

Welcome to the Crathes, Drumoak & Durris Community Council (CDDCC) website where we aim to provide our local community with information on the key issues in our area based on the needs and aspirations of our local residents.  We strive to gain a good understanding of these needs and aspirations to enable us to take decisions that will lead to appropriate action in our community.  
​
​The Crathes, Drumoak and Durris area is a fantastic rural community and our goal is to enhance community spirit and be part of a community movement in making where we live a better place for all, now and in future years.

​If you are interested in being involved in representing you community please come along to one of our regular meetings or contact the Community Council via our email or Facebook.
We do not plan to hold a meeting on January 12th with the next being on 9th Feb.

Road Safety Campaign 2022
The Community Council is renewing Campaigns to improve road safety in and around our villages and communities following wide spread concern about vehicle speed (and noise),  driver behaviour on the roads as well as deteriorating infrastructure and poor repair state of key roads e.g. missing cats eyes, worn markings and inadequate safety features for pedestrians and cyclists - particularly in Drumoak and Crathes where school kids cross the carriageway and where the Deeside Way emerges onto the A93 pavements. Please see more details on our page here and contribute to our campaign surveys on our social media.

Park Bridge Update
There was strong support for the Park Bridge Action Group to respond to Aberdeenshire Council strategy on bridge infrastructure. You can follow official outcomes at https://engage.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/how-we-prioritise-bridges
