Two Scottish Conservative candidates have been announced for the Banchory and Mid-Deeside ward in May’s local government elections.
Firstly Ann Ross, who has served the area as a councillor since 2017, is standing for a second term and is eager to continue working with the community and businesses in the ward.
She said: “I have helped hundreds of constituents with queries on a wide range of matters over my time as a councillor and it has been a joy to represent my community.
"I am honoured and privileged to have been selected to stand again.”
Joining her on the ballot paper will be Harriet Cross, who was officially selected in mid-January.
A chartered rural surveyor Harriet has lived in a number of towns and villages in Aberdeenshire and Deeside.
She said: "We are so fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful areas of the UK.
"I truly believe that this should be matched by Banchory and Mid-Deeside having access to the local services, schools, thriving businesses and health care facilities to allow it to prosper in every sense of the word.
"Our region is a tourist hotspot but it is home to so many and I am determined that it must deliver for its permanent residents, as well as the visitors who are vital to our local economy.”
