Murdo has accused the SNP of being so arrogant that they think they know what’s best for local communities in Perth and Kinross.
His call comes after new research from the Scottish Conservatives revealed the SNP have overturned almost 400 local authority planning decisions across the country since the last council elections in 2017.
This includes 14 planning appeals being overturned by Scottish Government Ministers in Perth and Kinross since 2017.
Commenting, Murdo Fraser MSP said: “These figures are a true reflection on how little interest the SNP have in listening to people’s concerns and opinions in Perth and Kinross.
“They are so out of touch yet think they know what’s best for local communities in the region.
“Ministers already routinely centralise power away from councils like Perth and Kinross. Now they are overruling the local authority here on crucial planning matters.”
Murdo continued: “The Scottish Conservatives believe in empowering local councils to make planning decisions on residents’ behalf and stopping SNP centralisation. Only a vote for us here in Perth and Kinross will stop the SNP and deliver on voters’ local priorities.”
