Our local Communities
Community Action Plans
 St Fergus is the latest Community to produce a Community Action Plan following a Planning for Real® Community Consultation held within the village during 2009. A number of Community Action Plans are available for the Buchan area including Cruden Bay, Fetterangus, New Deer, New Pitsligo and Kininmonth & New Leeds.

Do you want to make sure that services are delivered in a way that you would like to see as a community? If the answer to these questions is “Yes” then Planning for Real® might just be the answer.
