Aboyne Bridge

We asked

Following the emergency closure of Aboyne Bridge, a community drop-in event and an online survey took place to gather feedback from residents.

You said

274 people completed the survey to let us know of the issues and challenges they faced on a daily basis by the urgent bridge closure. Some of these issues we were aware of and some we were not. Discussions are now ongoing to try and alleviate some of these challenges. One of the main issues raised was communication; the community did not feel that they were being kept informed.

We will

Plans are now in place to produce a monthly update to keep people informed about what is happening with the bridge. This update will be available on Engage Aberdeenshire, and also offline as we were made aware that not everyone affected is online. As part of the plan to keep the community informed, we also aim to issue Frequently Asked Questions.
