Aberdeenshire Council Place Strategy

The development of a Place Strategy is one of Aberdeenshire Council’s priorities agreed as part of our Council Plan for 2022-27. Our Place Strategy will explain how the Council and our partners will achieve the vision and objectives for Aberdeenshire.

We asked

To help us develop our Place Strategy we asked for your views on what Aberdeenshire means to you, what changes are needed and how the Place Strategy can help to achieve the vision and ambition for Aberdeenshire.

You said

We received 103 responses to the survey, along with feedback from face to face sessions led by Area Teams, Community Learning and Development and the Lived Experience Network. The survey responses provided valuable insight into how people define place, what people's ambitions are for Aberdeenshire and what people would like to see in the place strategy. A lot of the feedback focused on engaging with and empowering communities.

We will

All of your feedback will help us develop our Place Strategy which will be made available soon. This will be supported by a framework of place plans and you will also have an opportunity to get involved and have your say when these are developed. At the heart of the Place Strategy will be the current and future needs of our communities.
