Aberdeenshire Council: “We received over 1000 representations. We are still cataloguing these so we will have a definite figure in our September newsletter.

I received this “Potterton Rant” from a resident who had trawled through over a YEARS worth of Council minutes, Facebook posts, searched the BCC website and the Belhelvie Banter and found nothing to point the residents of Potterton to these changes in the LDP. She did find Barratts lobbying the council for more Greenbelt landContinue reading ““Potterton Rant””
