Aboyne Bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in November 2024 after our Autumn 2023 Survey was completed. However, we ensured that the significant impact of the bridge closure on our community was taken into account in the November 2024 Consultation Draft LPP (see below) and has been reflected in the final version of the plan
