An Aberdeen community council has been disbanded following the mass resignation of members.
Torry Community Council holds its meetings on the third Thursday of every month at Tullos Primary School.
During Thursday evening’s meeting, five members handed in their resignations which disbanded the community council until next year.
The resignations left the group below the minimum number of people required to run the meetings.
An council spokeswoman said: “Following the resignation of five of its community councillors on Thursday, Torry Community Council has been dissolved by Aberdeen City Council.
“This is due to Torry Community Council no longer meeting the required minimum number of appropriate members, elected or co-opted, as stated in the conditions of the scheme for the established of community councils.
“The council’s community councils liaison officer will continue to be available to members of the Torry community if they wish to hold a by-election for the re-establishment of Torry Community Council.
“The earliest date for this would be February/March 2020.”
