Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
The commitment follows a meeting between Mr Stevenson and the Manager of the Shell Goldeneye Project, at which the local SNP MSP highlighted concerns about the disruption caused for a short period last year by the closure of the A90 between Peterhead and St Fergus Gas terminal for the transportation of an abnormal load by the Shell Goldeneye partners. In response to Mr Stevenson’s concerns Shell were keen to show their ongoing commitment to the local community, and have decided to extend their community support beyond its previous commitment.
Welcoming the news, Mr Stevenson said:
“This is terrific news, and underlines Shell’s longstanding commitment to the local community. I have to say that, with a high local employment rate and long-running commitment to supporting local initiatives, Shell is leading by example on how big business should interact with the local community.
“In particular, the support for the Buchan Development Partnership, which in turn supports a host of community projects and groups, means that everyone locally is benefiting in some way. I was also delighted that the funding for the Banff and Buchan College student sponsorship scheme, now in its third year, will also be extended, and I would like to but on record my congratulations to Shell for their community spirit.”
