Councillors today agreed to return to hybrid meetings where possible in Aberdeenshire Council.

Officers will look to facilitate councillors attending policy committee on line or in person at Woodhill House in Aberdeen.

Some area committees – including Kincardine and Mearns – may also return to hybrid meetings.

It is also hoped that the last full council of this five year term on 28 April may also see at least some councillors attend in person.
