The Banff and Buchan Community Planning Group (CPG) brings together, on a regular basis, local representatives of the Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partners. By working in partnership CPG members gain a shared understanding of local issues and are able to work together to deliver solutions.

We hope that with your support we can build on our achievements and that, based on what has been achieved to date, you will let us have your ideas on new priorities that we should consider in the future. By letting us know what you want you can help to influence the way the Community Planning Partners respond to the aspirations and needs of the people and communities in Banff & Buchan.
