Council ask Government for cash for 'landslip' site

Bosses at Aberdeenshire council have written to the Scottish Government  - asking them to fund work at 'Bervie Braes'.

There are concerns about a serious landslide - with some 70 houses nearby.

An expert report says a 'soil nailing' scheme should prevent landslips at the site - the local authority don't own the land, but say they want to be sure a solution can be found.

The work required is more extensive than a similar project in Pennan, where landslips in 2007 meant locals had to be evacuated.
