Chance to name streets in major new housing development

The public has been asked to suggest names for streets in a major new housing development.

Up to 600 homes could be built on the edge of Fraserburgh under a Colaren Homes plan for the Kirkton area.

But advance sales of the future properties have stalled because councillors have yet to decide what to call the roads they will be on.

Fraserburgh and District councillor Ian Tait last week said he was eager to have the names “settled” soon.

And he has now been backed by the port’s community council which wants to consult locals before providing their recommendations to Fraserburgh’s representatives.

A spokesman for the group said: “We are looking for suggestions for street names for the new Kirkton Heights housing development off Boothby Road.

“There are two Crescents, an Avenue, a Lane, a Gardens, a Road or Drive and a Walk to be named so far. A local connection or theme would be preferred.

“Any stand-out ideas will be discussed at our next meeting.”

Options have so far included references to the town’s lifeboat men and war dead.

Councillor Tait said: “Clearly, as a local councillor, I want to see house building going ahead to provide quality accommodation and provide work for our tradesmen.”

Naming streets in Fraserburgh has proved controversial in the past.

A row erupted in 2015 when councillors voted to name a street in the Merryhillock site after “Braveheart” William Wallace.

Mr Tait said the Scot had no links with the town and claimed the idea was “blatantly political”.

The name had earlier been suggested by a Fraserburgh community council member for a housing development at Quarry Road.
