Let's talk Aberdeenshire

Aberdeenshire is full of unique places, from coastal communities to rural villages and busy towns. Before we begin, we’d love to know which part of Aberdeenshire you live in or use most often. This could be the town you visit regularly for school, work, shopping, healthcare, or other services. We’ve listed 17 towns across Aberdeenshire that have an Academy school, as these often act as hubs for surrounding areas. This approach doesn’t exclude smaller communities; it simply helps us group responses in a way that reflects how people experience different parts of Aberdeenshire in their everyday lives.

This section looks at how easy and safe it is to get around your area, whether you're walking, cycling, driving, or using public transport. Aberdeenshire Council plays a key role in managing roads, pavements, public transport partnerships, active travel routes, traffic safety, and parking. When answering the questions, think about how it is in your town, village or area.
