| Mid Formartine | John Loveday I have lived in the Mid Formartine ward for 35 years and represented our local area since 1999, so I am well aware of the issues and concerns of my community. Married with 3 grown up children, living in Bourtie, between Oldmeldrum and Inverurie. A radio communications engineer by trade, spending many years offshore before switching to a sales role and now running a communications business in Aberdeen. I was first elected in 1999 for the Ward of Oldmeldrum and Daviot, re-elected in 2003 and then into the multimember ward of Mid Formartine in 2007. If re-elected to represent the people of Mid Formartine, my priorities include:
I am proud to have been the chair of the Formartine Area Committee for the past 9 years. As well, I enjoy chairing the Local Review Body, which decides planning appeals across the whole of Aberdeenshire. I have served on the Education Learning and Leisure Committee and the Joint Fire Board for the past 13 years. My attendance record is exemplary. I have gained a very wide range of experience from this work. I bring all my business experience to the Council and to the administration group of the Aberdeenshire Council. |

| Ellon & District | Isobel Davidson On leaving school in Peterhead, I worked for 10 years in a medical laboratory before completely changing my career to get involved in nature conservation. I studied at college in Dumfries and eventually gained an Honours Degree in Biology from Aberdeen as a mature student. I live just outside Ellon with my 13 year old Foster Daughter 2 dogs and a cat. I have particular interests in wildlife issues, sustainability and education. I have served as Vice Chair of the Education, Learning and Leisure Committee over the last 5 years. This has been interesting and challenging as we have to implement budget cuts while keeping up the high quality of education and leisure offered in Aberdeenshire. |
