Over recent years communities in Peterhead have actively participated in manydifferent consultation and engagement exercises undertaken in and around its town centre. The outcomes have been wide ranging and varied, but some themes have appeared time and again:
More leisure and recreationopportunities in the town centre
Things to see and do affordably or for free
Investment in the historic and vacant buildings
Greenpublicspace
In order to achieve these ambitions the proposal in development will create a ‘Cultural Quarter’ in Peterhead; revitalising the heart of the town by returning Arbuthnot House into public use and creating a new destination museum and cultural hub, with spaces for recreation, participation and learning. A new public space will be created in Broad Street, and the project will also renew and enhance the current Arbuthnot Museum and Library Building, providing opportunities for new uses.
This ambitious project will provide new cultural, educational and social opportunities. It will celebrate and tell the stories of Peterhead and Aberdeenshire’s unique culture and heritage, whilst offering the community new and engaging experiences and opportunities. The project will be a driver for economic growth; help to re-energise Peterhead’s town centre; improve its environment with the introduction of greenspace; and improve wellbeing by offering safe, pedestrian friendly spaces for people to enjoy. It will increase the town and the region’s attraction as a tourism destination; deliver substantial benefits to local businesses which will all contribute to Peterhead’s continued regeneration.
