WHITEFORD HAILS TURRIFF MAY DAY SUCCESS

SNP Westminster candidate for Banff & Buchan Eilidh Whiteford has hailed the success of Turriff's May Day event.

Speaking in Turriff during the May Day event, Eilidh Whiteford said:

"Praise must go to Turriff Business Association and everyone involved in making today's event such a great success for the town.

"The event attracted a huge number of people and there was a real buzz about the town. I was very impressed with the range of attractions on offer and I hope that local businesses will have seen their efforts rewarded by this increased number of customers.

"Turriff is very fortunate in that it retains a large number of locally-owned, independently-run businesses. It certainly allows initiatives like May Day, now in its 22nd year, to flourish."
