A COUNCILLOR who tried to sink Donald Trump’s golf resort at Menie Estate near Aberdeen today snubbed an offer to visit it.
Martin Ford has rejected an invitation to visit the Menie Estate course on the week of its opening.
Cllr Ford, whose casting vote sunk the scheme when it was first considered by Aberdeenshire Council, said: “I don’t have to go to Menie to see a portable cabin.”
