The important work of bringing the plan to life starts NOW!
To be effective as a Community Action Plan, our community must take positive action to implement these Initiatives and Proposals. The Local Place Plan team of Mid Deeside Community Council will work with Aboyne residents, businesses and stakeholders throughout 2025 to organise meetings and form interest groups to take forward the Initiatives. The Local Place Plan team will aim to have active interest groups in place by summer 2025
Key areas for progress in 2025 include:

Such relatively simple actions will make a difference. We are building a list which we will share with you here and on community notice boards so that members of the community can continue to contribute their ideas and, importantly, offer to take action. This is already underway. A growing inventory of ideas has been generated and actions including wildflower planting and gate painting have already been implemented

Why?
Why?
To ensure that local government takes account of OUR VOICE on OUR VILLAGE'S FUTURE in plans and decisions, and to support funding applications for community led projects. See Why it matters for how our community's VOICE has helped enhance Aboyne centre, improve road safety and much more in recent years
How?
How?
The VOICES of local individuals, businesses and organisations have shaped the new ABOYNE LOCAL PLACE PLAN which will feed into the planning system and demonstrate community support. See Have your say for how your VOICE has made a difference
When?
When?
We held a survey and group sessions in autumn 2023 to hear the VOICES of our community. The results fed into a series of Initiatives which we consulted on with key stakeholders during spring 2024. We consulted on the draft plan November 2024. We will submit the final version of the plan to Aberdeenshire Council for registration as a Local Place Plan in January 2025 to ensure that OUR VOICE is included in the next Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan
Who?
Who?
Local community groups and individuals came together under Mid Deeside Community Council to develop the new ABOYNE LOCAL PLACE PLAN. We made a real effort to ensure that all VOICES were heard, from all parts of our community
Our community must now take positive action to implement the Initiatives and Proposals in the ABOYNE LOCAL PLACE PLAN. Everyone's help is needed. To get involved, in whatever way you can, please Contact us!
