The Aberdeenshire Council depot in Laurencekirk was one of the options for a Travellers site.
Plans to create a permanent Travellers’ site in the North-east are expected to be lodged in September.
Aberdeenshire Council has revealed it is to bring forward proposals to develop a permanent site at Aikey Brae at Old Deer.
The site would cost an estimated £351,000 to develop, which would include the installation of CCTV in the area.
Proposals to open the site to Travellers were announced in 2014, but a backlash from local residents forced the council to shelve the plans and look elsewhere.
Last year, four sites across the region – at Aikey Brae, Ellon, Inverurie and Laurencekirk – were put forward to consider but the council decided to press ahead with Aikey Brae.
Permanent Travellers’ site won’t be situated in Laurencekirk
