Ross Thomson, who is standing to be the next local councillor for Dyce, Bucksburn and Danestone, has made clear what his priorities will be if elected to serve local residents on Thursday 19th.
Ross says:
“My priorities are your priorities and I am making them clear for you to judge me by. my priorities are:
1) To get Aberdeen moving again. We need to pull our roads and infrastructure firmly into the 21st century. I will fight tirelessly for the development of the Aberdeen by-pass, for a fix to the nightmare Haudagain roundabout, for our pothole riddled roads to be sorted and for a greater capacity on the East Coast mainline.
2) To support our local economy and protect jobs. I want Aberdeen to be a more dynamic and prosperous place. I will promote Aberdeen as the best place to do business.
3) To make Dyce, Bucksburn and Danestone an even greener place to live. I will fight against fly tipping and strive to keep our local communities green and clean. I will throw my energy into helping the invaluable Dyce in Bloom gain the support and funding to continue it’s work.
4) To protect our local communities from crime and anti-social behaviour. I have already written to the council and the Chief Constable of Grampian police about the Traveller encampments on Riverview Drive.
5) To always put local people and local issues first. I will always do my utmost to serve the interests of local people. I will strive to help local people with their concerns. I have already taken up many issues such as the noise from the airport, the flight path of helicopters, littering, travellers, bus services such as the no. 5 line and I have been involved in community improvement days such as improving the woods behind lidls.
These are my priorities and I will fight to deliver them if given the opportunity to do so on Thursday.”
