Your Community Councillors
Andy Roberts
Chair & Planning Liaison Officer
I joined the Community Council in November 2015. I have lived in Culter since 1991, and spent 25 years commuting to somewhere else. I retired last summer, so joining the Community Council is a brilliant way for me to get to know many more of you who live here, and learn about the place itself. I took on the Planning role as I have some experience with the planning system from when I was working, and I continue to benefit from the great support of Julia Crichton, Lavina Massie, Ann Wakefield and David Wakefield, who are members of the Planning Sub Group with me.
My hope is that together we can increasingly influence the future of Culter for the best – and ‘best’ means what works for us who live here. Let’s use the Community Council as a way of helping with this – and come join us too!
Peter Brawley
Vice-Chair, Roads & Paths, Courier Distribution
I have lived in Peterculter since 1992 and I retired from work in 2018. I am a keen (although not terribly good) golfer and I am a member of Peterculter Golf Club. I am also a hillwalker and I am a member of the Aberdeen and Shire Hillwalking Club. I have a wife (Jackie) and three grown up children.
I joined the Culter Community Council in 2019. It is a good opportunity to get involved in the community and to get to know more people.
I am updating the map of paths in and around Culter; there are many paths of which people may not be aware and I am keen that people make use of them.
It is important that each year we bring in new blood to the Community Council, we always welcome new people. I encourage you to contact any of the council members if you want to know more about how the Council works and how you could take part
Bob Farthing
Secretary
Having first observed Culter Community Council meetings as a visitor, I was persuaded to join as a councillor in 2018. My accent gives me away as an Englishman, though I came to live in Aberdeen in 1983 and have now lived the majority of my life in Scotland. I moved to Peterculter in 2012.
Naturally curious, I am keen to hear about the great things that are happening in Culter and also to contribute to making things happen.
