The Scottish Liberal Democrats have announced their candidates in the Aberdeenshire Council election for the Stonehaven and Lower Deeside ward to be Peter Bellarby and David Fleming.

David Fleming has been Chairman of Stonehaven & District Community Council for almost 6 years. In this role he has promoted Stonehaven at three public planning inquiries (and been successful in 2), campaigned for many improvements in and around the Town and, on a wide range of issues, ensured the views of the people of Stonehaven are influential. David has been Company Secretary of Stonehaven Town Partnership since its inception in 2007, and has been very active in the setting up of Stonehaven Town Hall Trust, the development of the Queen Elizabeth Caravan Park, and the re-opening of the Tolbooth Museum. Mr Fleming is also a member of Stonehaven Choral, the Royal Deeside Railway Preservation Society and St James’ Church, Stonehaven.

Just back from the Federal LibDem Conference in Birmingham - the first one I have ever been too.  Something one has to do before one dies!! It was all very interesting.  If you were very sharp, you could see me on telly listening to Vince Cable’s on-form speech.
