Strichen Library Asset Transfer

What you told us

The charity Strichen Town House SCIO submitted an Asset Transfer request to take ownership of the former Strichen Library on Water Street. The proposal was to run the building as a community facility, hosting meetings and displaying local archive material. It was also proposed to work with the LiveLife Aberdeenshire so that Library Services could continue to be provided from the building.

We received one representation which was supportive of the request to transfer ownership of the asset. There were no other public representations made.

What we are doing

The Asset Transfer request was considered by the Buchan Area Committee on 11th November 2025 and it was unanimously agreed that the proposal should be supported.

The Council formally transferred the building to Strichen Town House SCIO on 27th March 2026.
