Banff and Buchan area
Banff and Macduff Community Council notice: following the resignation of all Office Bearers and 2 Community Council members between 30th July and 2nd August 2021, the Banff and Macduff Community Council was left with insufficient members to form a quorum. In line with Section 15 of Aberdeenshire Council’s Scheme of Establishment for Community Councillors, the Community Council has been automatically dissolved as of 2nd August 2021 as a result of these resignations.
The effect of this is that there is no Community Council currently in existence for that area until such time as a new Community Council can be established.
Any queries regarding community issues can be raised directly with your local Ward Councillors. Alternatively please contact the Area Manager’s office on 01467 530700 or banffandbuchanamo@aberdeenshire.gov.uk for advice.
