## Resource

In a heartfelt and tightly contested by-election following the tragic passing of independent councillor George Hall, SNP candidate Angus Matheson has won the Peterhead South and Cruden ward seat with 741 votes. With a turnout of over 22%, Matheson — a student and newcomer to local politics — expressed deep gratitude to voters and the community, honoring Hall’s legacy as a dedicated public servant. He pledged to fight council cuts, prioritize local services, and keep the vital Clerkhill Post Office open. Matheson vowed to serve all residents, regardless of party, and is now ready to hit the ground running for Peterhead.
