Press Release (16/08/09)

(In response the article in the Sunday Herald.)

Tripping Up Trump is a fresh energised movement standing up for the local people and environment threatened by Donald Trump’s development in Aberdeenshire.

Tripping up Trump welcomes the news that most of the local councillors are against compulsory purchase, however we will not become complacent and continue to campaign on this human rights issue. Tripping Up Trump will work hard to help the councillors resist the pressure that will come from the Trump organisation. We have decided to organise a big gathering outside Woodhill house on October the 1st to support the locals and councillors who are brave enough to stand strong on the issue.

"We have locals directly threatened by compulsory purchase and we know they are extremely worried about Trump's bullying tactics."

"Donald Trump was given outlined planning permission on the grounds he had all the land he needed. He has now changed his mind and is trying to clear locals from their land."

"We have been flooded with support by people wanting to know more about Tripping Up Trump. People are very concerned about how Trump wants to use Compulsory Purchase for private profit. If this is allowed to happen then it asks the question of who is next?"

"Tripping Up Trump are having a family picnic on the 30th of August as we believe hundreds will gather to support the locals threatened by the Trump organisation."
