I'm William Dibb — standing to be your voice for jobs that stay local, buses that actually come, and roads worth driving.
Aberdeenshire West is a scatter of communities — and too often, the further you are from the centre, the less you're heard. The bus that doesn't come. The apprenticeship that leads nowhere. The road that never gets fixed.
The Scottish Youth Parliament gives young people a real say in the decisions that shape their lives. I want to use that seat to put the practical things first — and to make sure the villages don't get left off the map.
My job isn't to make noise. It's to turn up, listen, and fight for what people here actually need.
Why train young people for trades they can't then get hired in locally? I'll push for apprenticeships that actually lead to work here — not training for jobs that don't exist on our doorstep. Get that right, and a lot else follows.
Too many villages — Clatt, Leslie, Rhynie — are left off the map. I'll fight for transport that reaches the places people actually live.
When opportunities like the Rhynie garage that locals wanted get blocked, it's young people looking for work who pay for it. I'll stand up for the jobs on our doorstep.
Our roads are in a poor state right across the area. Fixing them isn't glamorous — it just matters to everyone who travels them.
No community should be stuck without a signal. I'll push to close the gaps that leave people cut off.
The North East generates huge value for Scotland and gets one of the worst deals back. That's why the buses get cut and the roads stay broken — and it's the case I'll keep making, loudly, for everyone here.
