In March 2024 Peterhead was added to the list of towns participating in the ‘Long-Term Plan for Towns’ programme. 

There is potential for Peterhead to receive endowment style funding, for up to 10-years starting in 2025, to be invested in priorities decided by the new Peterhead Town Board. 

Peterhead Town Board must submit a plan to the UK Government, and have it agreed, before the programme starts.

The Board may invest funding across three broad themes:  

• Safety and Security  
• High Streets, Heritage and Regeneration  
• Transport and Connectivity  

You are invited to learn more about the possible options for investment and give your feedback.

Your feedback will help Peterhead Town Board to decide on the right priorities for the Town. 

There are ten questions in the survey plus some questions about you. 

Thank you for taking part.
