Community Council needs your input.

Aberlemno & District Community Council ( A&DCC ) are seeking support from local

residents on the statement attached.

Following the Highland Community Councils release of a combined statement, a

meeting was held in August 2025 with North East Scotland Community Councils who

had expressed shared concerns over the potential environmental and community

impact of multiple renewable energy projects and major energy infrastructure being

proposed in Aberdeenshire, Angus and Aberdeen City.

A short life working group developed the unified statement in collaboration with the

North East Scotland Community Councils Convention (NESCCC). It is believed by

supporting a unified statement across multiple community councils gives a stronger

message that these are not isolated concerns of individual councils.

NESCCC believe this initiative is spreading with other community councils’ regions

such as South (Borders), Northern Isles and Perth and Kinross considering or having

already started a similar approach, bring the serious concerns of communities across

Scotland to the attention of Holyrood and the Scottish Government.

A round table meeting is being arranged to be held at Holyrood next month, involving

MSPs of all parties, where these concerns will be raised. The A&DCC would like to

be able to add their support to the statement ahead of this meeting. Residents of the

Aberlemno and District community are therefore being asked to submit their support

or objections to the NESCCC Unified Statement by the 28 th February 2026 to

If no objections are received A&DCC will submit their support based on the previous

communications and meetings held where residents were in attendance and were

clear in their concerns over the impact of major energy infrastructure proposed

across the Angus area.
