Our two North East local authorities agreed today to work together to secure some £2.9 billion from the UK and Scottish governments to invest in our local infrastructure. The councils will now open direct negotiations with the two governments to secure an Aberdeen City Region Deal.
I was pleased to be able to speak in the Aberdeenshire Council debate this afternoon, highlighting the fact the the proposals sensibly include making better use of our rail line. Among the stations to be re-opened would be Newtonhill, Cove, Aberdeen Airport/AECC, and Kittybrewster. Light at the end of the tunnel?
