Dear Constituents, 

I am pleased to invite you to a public meeting at the Gordon Arms Hotel, Huntly on Wednesday 13th February 2018 from 5.30pm – 8.00pm to give local businesses the opportunity to raise issues and concerns in the community. 

I am pleased to announce that I will be hosting a Litter Pick Up in Aboyne on Saturday, 25th August. 

This has been organsied with the Rubbish Cl;ub, started by Thomas Truby, a local school boy who identified that we need to be doing more to keep our constituency clean!

This Summer, while Parliament has been in recess, I have enjoyed touring the constituency to meet with residents in various communities to hear about local issues and concerns.  This summer has brought up a variety of concerns ranging from Scottish Water issues to Autism related queries and probl

The SNP pledge for 12 week waiting times are failing my constituents, and many other patients across the Grampians.  It is time the SNP acknowledged that their lack of action is leaving patients in pain and took measures to ensure waiting times are reflective of their 12 week promise.

SUMMER LITTER CLEAN UP ACTION DAY♻️

Please note that street surgeries are moving surgeries, where the MSP and his team will knock on doors of pre-selected streets so cannot guarantee he will knock on your door.

On Monday I sadly had to attend the funeral of a local campaigner, Dave Clucas. He was a stalwart of the party who helped me in many campaigns and was always a friendly face you enjoyed having out on the campaign trail. He will be dearly missed by all.

On Monday I held a surgery at the Banchory Business Centre - always great to meet with constituents and take forward their concerns.

On the weekend I spent a day with my daughter cleaning up litter in Banchory. It is important that communities start to take the initiative of keeping their local environment clean by picking up litter and bringing it home with them to dispose of.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable spring break with family and friends. I spent much of the break with my family or out in the constituency.
