Turriff Partnership Place Plan

As part of the Aberdeenshire Council Place Strategy, we will be working with you to create place plans for each academy town. Just now it's Turra's turn!

These plans are being built with the participation of people in Turriff and the surrounding area, and will be delivered together with our partners in the NHS, Fire Service, Police Scotland, and community groups. Aberdeenshire’s towns have their own distinct priorities and identities. These should be recognised, and local actions should reflect local needs.

Initial Engagement included an online survey, meetings with various local organisations, a sports survey and in-person public events in Turriff and in the surrounding villages. Thanks to the pupils of Turriff Academy for their help in shaping the Survey Questions and also for providing the illustrations.

The analysis report on these initial engagement sessions is available at the following link :

Turriff Engagement Analysis

These findings highlighted several areas of concern from the community, as well as aspects of strength and civic pride and have been grouped into 5 main themes: Culture & Identity, Getting About , Getting Involved ,Streets & Spaces and Work- Essentials & the Future.

Three Further Engagement Session were held in Turriff Library throughout May 2026, the reports from these are available in the sidebar , attendees consisted of a range of local organisations, Council Officers and Partners who contributed to discussions , helping identify potential projects for inclusion in the Place Plan

A draft Plan is currently being pulled together for the consideration of the Formartine Community Planning Group ( FCPG) prior top final discussions with local groups and residents.
