Elaine Brown, Formartine Area Manager and returning officer for this election, said: “I would like to thank everyone involved in today’s election and offer my congratulations to the successful candidates. I look forward to working with them all.
“We had nearly double the number of candidates required which shows there are a lot of people who want to help and represent the community they live in. Hopefully those who were unsuccessful on this occasion will not be discouraged. There are lots of ways people can help their local community.”
