The results of an extensive engagement focusing on multiple strategies will be used to shape plans to support communities across the city.
The results of the “Your Place, Your Plans, Your Future” engagement were presented to the Community Planning Aberdeen board on 18 June and saw 2,087 participants share their insights to help Community Planning Partners set their priorities for the years ahead.
Aberdeen City Council Co-Leader Councillor Christian Allard said: “My thanks go out to everyone who gave us their views. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us to focus on the things that matter most to those living in our communities.
The engagement ran from 24 March to 18 May, with citizens able to contribute via an online survey for adults, a survey designed for children and young people and drop-in sessions where assistance was available with support from third sector organisations.
The engagement results and next steps can be viewed at Local Outcome Improvement Plan and Locality Plans 2026-2036 Development – Community Planning Aberdeen
The engagement focused on the Local Housing Strategy, Health and Social Care Strategic Plan, Community Learning and Development Plan, Visitor Levy, and the next Local Outcome Improvement Plan, Locality Plans, Children’s Services Plan, and Local Development Plan.
The engagement used the Place Standard tool, a nationally-approved tool to assist with long-term planning that promotes conversations about how to improve people’s health, wellbeing and quality of life.
The results are being used to inform the finalised Local Housing Strategy, Health and Social Care Strategic Plan, Community Learning and Development Plan and Visitor Levy proposal before submission for approval.
Community Planning Aberdeen, the Locality Empowerment Groups and Priority Neighbourhood Partnerships, are analysing the results to support the development of the Local Outcome
Improvement Plan and Locality Plans 2026-36 which are to be consulted on in early 2026.
