John A Thomson, Chairman of Freuchie Flood Action Group, took time out today at the SEPA Business Flood Risk Conference to personally invite Roseanna Cunningham MSP, Minister of the Environment, to visit the flood affected village of Freuchie.
It was a delight for John to spend ten minutes conversing with the Minister just before she delivered an excellent keynote speech. We’ll bring you more on the content of her speech soon.
Freuchie Cricket Club will be heartened to hear she enthusiastically mentioned the “sport of the village” when first introduced to our man from Freuchie Flood Action Group.
The Minister’s private secretary indicated it should be possible to set-up the visit for sometime in the summer – very welcome news indeed. We can’t wait to brief the Minister on the road we have travelled and explain the big plans being put in place for the benefit of the whole community! Thanks go to the Minister and her team.

Just like Mike Russell before her, Roseanna Cunnigham is a warm and welcoming politican who knows her brief extremely well. The time as the Rural Affairs and the Environment Committee Convenor has served her well.
I’m sure she is going to be very impressed with the plans were working on to deliver all manner of flood management improvements and other projects. The FFAG team may even manage to show her a trick or two!
Really looking forward to her visit to Freuchie.
