Banchory and District Talking Paper, Sound of Piper, Closes After 20 Years

Lodged by Alexander Burnett (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the Banchory and District Talking Paper for producing weekly recordings of The Deeside Piper, titled Sound of the Piper for over 20 years; notes that over the last two decades it has created an accessible service for many with sight and other disabilities to keep up to date with local news; understands that the paper received many grants and other sources of funding and was presented with The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Services in 2018; but commiserates that it is now closing due to changing times, and thanks all those who have been involved for their hard work and commitment to Sound of the Piper.
