Plans for social housing and an advice centre in Portlethen5.00.00pm GMT Sun 31st Jan 2010 Plans for social housing and an advice centre in Portlethen are moving a step closer to success. The site across from Bourtree Hall is known locally as the Old Council Groundsman Depot and Mosside Cottages. Local councillor Paul Melling said that the disused properties have been released from any requirement by Aberdeenshire Council's education department and transferred to the social work and housing service for its use. "I have been hoping to find a use for this site for some considerable time. "It now appears that this site will be released for social housing in partnership with Cornerstone. "In addition a purpose-built centre to house a citizen advice centre, a coffee shop and a Befriend A Child centre - with an outside play area for toddlers - will be incorporated on this site." Ward colleague Councillor Ian Mollison added: "It is great news that progress is finally being made. Further meetings will be arranged to discuss the final details and obviously planning consent will be required for the change of use of this site. "
