We asked

It is based on outcomes that we want to achieve for Aberdeenshire, focusing on improving the wellbeing of residents and making our region a more sustainable place to live, work and visit. We asked communities for their views on the priorities included in the plan. Participants were asked to what extent they agreed with the Council Plan, how clear and relatable it was, and to let us know about anything they thought was missing from the plan.
