Aberdeen’s Liberal Democrat councillors have today called on Councillor Alan Donnelly to resign immediately following his conviction for sexual assault at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on 13th December.

Thank you to the 5,018 people who voted for me in the election to choose Aberdeen South’s MP.

Residents continue to contact me about problems with the litter bins outside the shops at Mannofield not being emptied often enough.

I have urged the council to repair an area of potholes and broken road surface on Kenfield Crescent.

I have asked council staff to remove four tyres which have been dumped on Ruthrieston Road near where it crosses over the Deeside Way (the old railway line).

Did you know that around three quarters of fires in Scottish homes are caused by electricity – with most linked to electrical appliances?

Garthdee Farm Gardens residents are becoming increasingly frustrated by the delay in the council being able to “adopt” – take control of – that road. The delay is due to the developer Barrett not carrying out the work needed to bring the road up to the required standard.

After I called for action, the council has replaced a missing litter bin at the top of the Asda steps in Garthdee. The council also cleared litter from around the steps after I asked for this to be done.

The latest police report for Braeside and Mannofield has now been published. Issues covered include road safety, traffic offences, and theft. The report also includes information about local police engagement and national police campaigns.

May the light of joy and prosperity shine on you this Diwali and throughout the comming year.
