What a disgrace…

Stumbled across this by accident….

Did you know that there were 2725 council houses sitting empty in Aberdeenshire, in January this year? I know there is a waiting list, but this is ridiculous.

Can anyone remember?

A member of the village has got in touch - can anyone resolve an argument? There was a fire in Torphins at the Butcher’s - when was this? If you know when this was, get in touch?

Neighbourhood Watch?

Since January (2009) there have been a series of incidents - various vehicles vandalised, old people terrorised in their houses, young children have been bullied, gardens have been trodded through etc… Come on people - are we not supposed to have a neighbourhood watch scheme here? 

Here is a link to another vehicle incident that I just found out about:
