Construction News Image
A decision on the use of compulsory purchase orders to make way for Donald Trump's golf resort will not be made this week by Aberdeenshire Council.

The meeting on Thursday will not debate the issue after Trump International, requested that a report not be submitted in order to allow further time for negotiations with homeowners on the estate.

Councillors will, however, be asked to debate a motion from Cllr Martin Ford asking the Council not to use compulsory purchase powers on the Menie Estate to force residents from their homes.
