Writing to your local MP, MSP or councillor is one of the most effective ways to apply pressure.
Elected representatives need to hear clearly that the proposed development at the Waters of Philorth is not supported. When large numbers of people contact them directly, it sends a strong signal that this issue matters and cannot be ignored.
You don’t need to be an expert. A short, personal message explaining why this place matters to you and why you oppose the development is enough. There is a template below you can copy and paste.
This landscape is part of everyday life for the community. Speaking up helps ensure that local voices are heard and taken seriously.
By taking a few minutes to send an email, you are helping to build momentum, influence decision-makers, and strengthen the campaign to protect the Waters of Philorth.

Subject: Objection to Ground Golf Development at Waters of Philorth
Dear [Name],
I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed golf course development by Ground Golf at Mains of Cairnbulg, which would extend into the Waters of Philorth Nature Reserve near Fraserburgh.
The Waters of Philorth is a well-used community space and a designated nature reserve, valued for both its accessibility and its environmental importance. It is used daily by walkers, dog owners and others, and forms part of a fragile coastal system that helps protect against erosion and flooding.
I am concerned that this development would fundamentally change how the land is used, with the likely loss of open access and long-established community use. There are also serious concerns about the impact on wildlife habitats, the stability of the dune system, and the long-term sustainability of the site.
While the proposal is described as a shared-use space, there is a strong feeling that golf would become the primary use in practice, reducing access for the wider community.
I ask that you take these concerns seriously, represent the views of your constituents, and oppose any plans that would lead to the loss or degradation of the Waters of Philorth Nature Reserve.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
