WECC have had some internal difficulties over the last year or so. After several attempts at resolving these on our own, the Garioch Area Office of Aberdeenshire Council has now stepped in to provide support to WECC for a 3-month period (May to July), to allow us to resolve these difficulties while preserving the integrity of the Community Council. During this period of being in a Supported Status, we are operating as a Steering Group and have no statutory responsibilities like commenting on planning applications. Our meetings also cease to be open to the public until the period ends. Nevertheless, our other activities like the Bulletin, involvement in the Westhill Gala, and unveiling the anniversary Sculpture progress as usual. It is a time for us to focus on those things which need to change to make us more effective and to ensure that our operations are fully in line with the Scheme of Establishment. We would ask for everyone’s patience and continued support as we work through these issues.
Some of our volunteers are getting ready to enjoy some of the treats very generously donated by Greggs in Westhill, to our group of Litter Pickers, after a successful pick today.
While carrying out our Litter Pick this morning, we noticed that some individual has thrown the lifebelt, which is stationed next to the Denman Pond dipping platform, into the centre of the pond. This is an area where children are likely to be enjoying, and this mindless act could result in life threatening consequences. If anyone has any information regarding who has carried out this reckless act, please inform the police.
