    Item: 3 Page: 6 ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE WOODHILL HOUSE, ABERDEEN, 3 OCTOBER, 2019 Present: Councillors P Argyle (Chair), J Cox (Vice Chair), W Agnew, G Carr, J Gifford (substituting for I Taylor), J Ingram, P Johnston, J Latham, I Mollison, C Pike, G Reid, S Smith, B Topping (substituting for D Aitchison) and R Withey. Apologies: Councillors D Aitchison and I Taylor. Officers: Director of Infrastructure Services, Head of Service (Transportation), Head of Service (Economic Development and Protective Services), Team Manager (Planning and Environment, Chris Ormiston), Team Leader (Planning and Environment, Piers Blaxter), Senior Policy Planner (Ailsa Anderson), Internal Waste Reduction Officer (Economic Development), Corporate Finance Manager (S Donald), Principal Solicitor, Legal and Governance (R O’Hare), Principal Committee Services Officer and Committee Officer (F Brown). OPENING REMARKS BY THE CHAIR The Chair opened the meeting by saying a few words about the weather and recent flooding across the north of Aberdeenshire, which had seen seven bridges closed, with some being destroyed and others extensively damaged. There was also damage to properties, with gardens and driveways being washed away and the Scottish Fire and Rescue being called out to assist with the pumping of water out from homes. Banff, Macduff, Whitehills, St Combs and Crovie were particularly badly hit, along with the King Edward area. The Chair commended the resilience of the local community, with neighbours looking out for one another and businesses starting the clean-up with repairs underway. The closure of seven bridges around King Edward had been particularly challenging and demonstrated the vulnerability of ageing infrastructure which was simply no longer fit for conditions, whether that was the volume and weight of traffic or extreme weather conditions.

  • May 3Rd 2012 New Directions for Local Councils an Action Plan for Green Councillors in Scotland Message from Patrick Harvie MSP and Alison Johnstone MSP
    The Scottish Green Party Manifesto for local elections May 3rd 2012 New Directions for local councils An action plan for Green Councillors in Scotland Message from Patrick Harvie MSP and Alison Johnstone MSP In 2012 local elections come out of the shadows. For the first time in 17 years council elections are being held in their own right. It is a chance for people to cast their votes on local issues, for the parties that present the best policies for their area, and for the candidates who can show real commitment to that area. We believe that Green candidates are worthy of those votes. Greens in local councils have already shown that they can make a difference. Examples are given throughout this manifesto. Our candidates come to you with track-record of hard work at community level, of developing constructive ideas, of listening to people; and of shaking up the status quo. The voting system also means that every Green vote counts. In 2007 the first Green councillors were elected in Scotland, in Glasgow and Edinburgh. We have Green Party members on Aberdeenshire Council as well now. We expect their numbers to swell in this election, with many more councils having a Green voice on them for the first time. But the election is about more than committed candidates. It takes place at a unique time in our politics. At a UK level the Coalition Government, unchallenged by a scarcely credible opposition, continues its slash and burn approach to public services with scant regard to the needs of the country both now and in the future.
