Leaving the EU could cost Aberdeenshire Council £11m, according to a report going to councillors on Thursday. LEADER funding could be the worst hit, with £6,121,979 set aside to facilitate community-led developments. A further £360,290 was awarded to augment Business Gateway services.

The council’s director of infrastructure services Stephen Archer says there are “questions over the deliverability of European-funded projects and programmes managed by the council”. It is item 15 on the agenda: http://committees.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/committees.aspx?commid=11&meetid=18288
