Banff - Macduff Active Travel Bridge

We asked

Aberdeenshire Council asked the communities of Banff and Macduff to give their opinion on a proposed new Active Travel Bridge which will provide a safe crossing for pedestrians, cyclists, people in wheelchairs and those with buggies between the two communities. The community were asked to choose their preferred option between two designs.

You said

Following community engagement and feedback from in-person events and online, Option 1 was the preferred option. This option was preferred due to the aesthetically pleasing design which enables views of the original heritage listed bridge.

We will

We have applied for funding from Sustrans to develop a detailed and technical design for option 1. We will continue to engage with the communities of Banff and Macduff and surrounding areas to ensure that the detailed design meets the needs of the residents and visitors of the community. Please see the Options Report attached for visualisations of the design and further information.
