Completed Safety Projects:
Bikes presented to Grampian Police | The Fraserburgh & District GSG presented two mountain bikes to Grampian Police. Inspector John Duncan explained: "This is an excellent example of Fraserburgh Police being supported by the local community and I am sure that the cycles will play a vital part in making the streets of Fraserburgh safer. I cannot thank the group enough for this equipment and for their continued support in helping reduce crime in Fraserburgh." Click on the bike logo to see a photo of the presentation. |
Cycle Security Marking | The Fraserburgh & District GSG has organised a number of sessions at schools etc. to put security code marks on bicycles. This will hopefully reduce cycle theft and ensure that the Police can return recovered bikes to their rightful owners. The project also involved handing out leaflets to bike owners on which they could record details of the bike should it be stolen.

Blue Light Festival | The Fraserburgh & District GSG was present at the Blue Light festival in Fraserburgh.

Ongoing Safety Projects:
Firework & Bonfire Safety | The Fraserburgh & District CSG is addressing the serious matter of firework and bonfire safety in the run-up to November 5th. They ran a Fireworks Safety Poster competition among local schools last year. The winning designs have been used to create posters which are being used this year to promote firework and bonfire safety. Click on the firework logo for more information |

Safety lighting provided |

Is Your Number Up? | The Fraserburgh & District CSG has taken the initiative in encouraging local people to increase the amount and the clarity of house numbers and house names to help the Emergency Services find houses when they are called out on 999 calls. The Emergency Services do have difficulty in finding houses which are not numbered or named. House numbers and house names should be clearly visible from the street or road. Councillor Brian Topping says: "If the emergency services or a doctor are called out to a house but have to spend time tracing it because it does not have a door number, it can add seconds or even minutes to their response time and it could cost lives."

Defibrillator | The Fraserburgh & District CSG sold raffle tickets to raise funds for a defibrillator for use by the Red Cross in the area. The project was started at the Blue Light Festival, tickets were also sold at the Best of Buchan in Fraserburgh in August. The defibrillator was bought at the end of 2003 after the raffle was drawn. Councillor Brian Topping says: "Now that the Red Cross has one of these portable heart starters, they can take it anywhere to save someone's life." |
