The Scottish Liberal Democrats have been highlighting their campaign against plans for a single Scottish police force in Aberdeen.

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott joined local campaigner and candidate for Aberdeen South John Sleigh at Nigg police station.

Commenting after the visit, Tavish Scott said:

"Grampian's chief constable says centralisation could cost 400 jobs in the North East.

"If Labour, the SNP and the Tories got their way, there would be 3000 fewer police officers on the streets across Scotland.

"Only the Liberal Democrats are standing up for local policing."
