The next section of waterworks along Cookston Road will be starting on the 15th August for 24 days. The road will be completely closed in both directions from Thistle Drive down to the roundabout with Muirend Road and Devenick Drive. There will also be parking restrictions on Devenick Drive. So, if you’re driving out of Thistle Drive to Cookston Road, you’ll need to turn right and go through Hillside. For anyone doing the school run to Portlethen Primary or Academy in their car, the alternative is to follow Thistle Drive the other way, through the countryside, all the way to the junction with Bruntland Road.
