Information Bulletin NORTH EAST SCOTLAND TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIP – 18 June 2014 8 Information Bulletin Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to provide information and updates for the Board on a number of matters not requiring decision. Access to Laurencekirk Study Data collection surveys were undertaken in March 2014, including classified junction turning counts, queue lengths, link counts, junction delay, journey times and a parking study. The results have been assessed and further surveys undertaken at a small number of locations to verify initial findings. The traffic modelling requirements have been agreed and a Paramics microsimulation model of the study area is being built. The strategic Aberdeen Sub Area Model (ASAM) will provide information for the future year model development and ASAM is currently being refined to include more zones in the area and development allocations within north Angus. The Stag Pre-Appraisal report is being drafted and option assessment is underway. The next progress meeting will be held on 20 June 2014. Energetica corridor study In relation to the Energetica corridor study, Nestrans met with Transport Scotland in October 2013 to raise the topic of such a study with them. We have since met with the two Councils to discuss the scope of the project and are currently developing a study brief in partnership with Transport Scotland, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils. The study will identify and examine the options for strategic transport connections from Fraserburgh and Peterhead to Aberdeen along the Energetica corridor and will examine all modes of transport including options to reinstate the railway line. The study will form the pre-appraisal and part 1 appraisal stages of the STAG process and will include development and consideration of the objectives for the corridor and consideration of options to take forward to a more detailed appraisal. A draft brief has been submitted to Transport Scotland for their comments and the Nestrans Board has approved a contribution for this study this financial year. We are also seeking partner contributions. Scottish Transport Awards A submission by Nestrans, in partnership with First, has been shortlisted for the Scottish Transport Awards. The submission, nominated First’s Platinum service 19 in the category ‘Best Bus Service’. The Platinum service was launched in November 2013 and included the complete refurbishment and re-branding of 12 buses on the route. The Scottish Transport Awards ceremony will be held in Glasgow on 19th June 2014 and Kirsty Chalmers will attend. 8 Information Bulletin Page 1 Getabout Information from the Getabout partnership The Getabout Sustainable Travel roadshow was at the 2 day Balmoral festival of running with over 300 people visiting over the 2 days The Events Kit was used to help launch the multi operator ‘Grasshopper’ Ticket in Inverurie (see photo) Discussions have taken place with the Aberdeen Health Village to support their travel plan The events kit was used in the launch of the ‘missing link’ A90 Cycle path in Peterhead by Aberdeenshire’s Provost, Councillor Jill Webster (see photo) The Aden Bike Challenge from Peterhead to Aden Country Park was cancelled with only a few weeks to go. The main problem was lack of staff to marshal it. Preparation for the 21st of September In Town Without My Car festival in Schoolhill, Aberdeen is progressing with more companies and organisations confirmed. Getabout has run two business foyer events at TAQA in Westhill (partnered by Aberdeenshire Council) and Wood Group (partnered by Aberdeen City Council) A new radio advert has been produced to encourage people to leave their car at home and walk or cycle to their destinations, where possible. This will continue to run on Original 106 FM over the summer months. Eddie Anderson, Nestrans Deputy Chair has very kindly offered the use of a curtainsided trailer for Getabout branding. We are planning to brand this with a joint message of the Getabout brand and promoting Liftshare. This is currently with Aberdeenshire Council’s design team who will create suitable visuals for the space.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • Turriff and District U3A Newsletter March 2020
    Turriff and District U3A Newsletter March 2020 We are all saddened by the passing of our chair- man David Liebnitz in January - pictured here on the left at a geology outing to the Burn of Vat. David was keen member of the geology group. David was a founding member of Turriff and Dis- trict U3A and served the organisation as Member- ship Secretary from the beginning as well as being Chairman for the past three years. He also led the walking group being a keen walker him- self. No matter where the walk might take them there was always time for a seat and a rest and always a visit to a cafe for coffee and cake at the end of each walk. A tradition that will continue in the future for sure. He will certainly be missed by many in the organisation and we are grateful for all the hard work he did in his various roles. It was a pleasure to know him. Looking back over the last few months we have had a variety of speakers attending our general meetings. In November two employees of Santander gave us a very interest- ing presentation on Internet secu- rity and in December Claire Christie gave an insight into Citizens Advice. January saw Stuart Grant presenting Live Life Aberdeenshire and we were put through our paces in a seated exercise rou- tine by Joanne. Then in February there was a change of speaker and we were grateful to Albert Cran who gave us an insight into the life of a paramedic.

    Item: 13 Page: 134 Education & Children’s Services REPORT TO COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE – 8 NOVEMBER 2018 DISPOSAL OF OBJECTS FROM ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL MUSEUM COLLECTIONS 1 Recommendations The Committee is recommended to: 1.1 Approve the disposal of 22 museum objects from Aberdeenshire Council Museum collections, in line with Aberdeenshire Council’s Disposal Policy. 2 Background / Discussion 2.1 Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service is Accredited by Museums Galleries Scotland. The Service is required to follow disposal procedures as outlined in its Collections Development Policy 2015-20 (Appendix 2 - 16. Disposal procedures), which was previously agreed by Committee. 2.2 The Collections Development Policy stipulates that the decision to dispose of material from the collections will be taken by the governing body only after full consideration of the reasons for disposal. The Communities Committee is the recognised “Governing Body” for the service and works within the principle that sound curatorial reasons for disposal must be established before consideration is given to the disposal of any items in Aberdeenshire Council’s museum collections. 2.3 A decision to dispose of a specimen or object, whether by gift, exchange, sale or destruction (in the case of an item too badly damaged or deteriorated to be of any use for the purposes of the collections or for reasons of health and safety), will be the responsibility of the governing body of Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service acting on the advice of professional curatorial staff, if any, and not of the curator of the collection acting alone. The Council’s Area Committees will be informed. 2.4 Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service recommends the disposal of 22 objects as listed below.

Walking briskly (72%) and heavy gardening (37%) continue to be the most common types of physical activity in which participants take part. The most common reasons cited for taking exercise are the desire to lead a healthy lifestyle (cited by 70% of respondents in 2014) and enjoyment of physical activities (52%); 29% of respondents also indicated that they took exercise as part of a weight control strategy. More than half of respondents (51%) do not think that they take enough physical exercise. Amongst those that accumulated no moderate and / or vigorous physical activity over the previous 7 day period, 36% indicated that they were not able to do enough exercise due to ill health or a similar reason (13% of those that had accumulated no moderate and / or vigorous physical activity still felt that they took enough exercise).
