Our Principles The partnership has developed six guiding principles, which we will use to test everything that we do. If something that we are planning as a partnership does not fit with these principles then we should not be doing it. The principles are: Inclusion We will ensure that our actions improve all Aberdeenshire citizens’ ability to access our services and will take account of all factors that create a barrier to this. We will do all that we can to ensure equal opportunities and will meet all national requirements on these. Accountability We will make ourselves answerable to the communities and people of Aberdeenshire and keep them informed of, and seek their views on, what we are doing. Partnership We will work together with our partners and the people of Aberdeenshire to achieve our vision and will encourage communities to recognise their important role in sharing in community planning work. Evidence-based We will ensure that our actions are based on clear evidence and information and are derived from what the community wants. Sustainability We will work to ensure that our actions meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future FORMARTINE generations to meet their own needs. COMMUNITY Efficiency We will aim to be as efficient as possible with resources and use PLAN them to provide as effective services as possible. 2010 – 2014 2 Commitment to Equalities Community planning involves working with all communities in Aberdeenshire. The Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership is aware that certain groups or individuals may be more disadvantaged or vulnerable for reasons such as age, disability, gender, race or ethnicity, religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation. We will strive to improve the quality of life for all people of Aberdeenshire and will do all that we can to ensure equal opportunities. Equalities Schemes Public bodies have a number of legal duties laid upon them in relation to various aspects of equality. A number of our partners have schemes in place. • Aberdeenshire Council Equalities Scheme • Grampian Fire and Rescue Service Race Equality Scheme, Gender Equality Scheme and Disability Equality Scheme • Grampian Police Single Equality Scheme • Nestrans Equality Scheme • NHS Grampian Race Equality Scheme and Disability Equality Scheme • Scottish Enterprise Equality Scheme • Skills Development Scotland Equality Scheme Community Engagement Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership has adopted a Community Engagement Strategy. The aim of the strategy is to support strong, active and inclusive communities that are both informed and involved in decision making. The strategy is also aimed at enabling partners to improve public services to enhance the quality of life for the residents of Aberdeenshire. The full document is available on the Community Planning website: www.ouraberdeenshire.org.uk/library FORMARTINE COMMUNITY PLAN 2010 – 2014 3 Formartine Community Plan 2010 – 2014 Welcome to this, the second, Community Plan for Formartine. This brings together the plans of a range of public services, community groups and voluntary organisations. It sets out how we all contribute to realising the vision of The Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership, Working together for the best quality of life for everyone in Aberdeenshire and how, by working together, so much more can be achieved. The format of the Plan reflects the links between the Plan and the Community, Strategic and other Plans of the Council and its partners. An important new influence is the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) between the community planning partners and the Scottish Government. We will show how this Plan links with the SOA on the website, www. ouraberdeenshire.org.uk/library Many of the actions stem from ideas and suggestions made by local communities at the For- martine Forum, at Community Council meetings or through Planning for Real projects. Com- munities such as Oldmeldrum, Udny and Rothienorman have worked through Planning for Real exercises and produced their own community action plans. We hope that reading about their completed projects and plans for the future will motivate you to plan for your community. Much has been achieved in recent years across the whole of the Formartine area. Communities have been rolling up their sleeves and making improvements, large and small, providing new facilities and services ranging from new halls, community cafes and play facilities to dealing with problems of service provision for young people with autism and addressing road safety issues – a major concern to many in the area. More and more communities are taking part in the Formartine in Bloom competition and making their towns and villages more attractive places to live and visit. Events both long-running, such as the Turriff Show and the Oldmeldrum Sports, and new such as those staged as part of the Homecoming celebrations are an important part of community life and the Council and its partners are pleased to be able to support you in these. There is a huge commitment and I thank you all for your efforts. FORMARTINE COMMUNITY PLAN 2010 – 2014 4 FORMARTINE COMMUNITY PLAN 2010 – 2014 5 We hope that you will find the Plan inspiring, interesting and easy to read. We also hope that you might want to let us have your ideas on new priorities that we should consider for the future. We know that some of the actions in the Plan are aspirational and will only happen if a range of factors including funding can be brought together. With a shared vision, we can strive to achieve them together. If you wish to discuss any of the items please do get in touch by phone, e-mail or writing to the address at the back of the Plan. We will be using this document to help us decide on future funding priorities and we do very much welcome your views. It is important to recognise the tremendous efforts of communities and community organisations, front line staff from the Council and other agencies, and service managers, who work in partnership to achieve community benefits. Thank you all for your efforts. Keith Newton Chair of the Formartine Community Planning Group FORMARTINE COMMUNITY PLAN 2010 – 2014 6 1 Purpose of the Formartine Community Plan This Plan provides outline information on intended developments and projects within the Formartine Area and will give you a clear picture of our shared vision for the area over the next four years. The action points included in the Plan will be led both by the major service providers and by the communities themselves. It has been drawn up by the Formartine Community Planning Group (FCPG) which is made up of community planning partners – Aberdeenshire Council, Grampian Fire & Rescue Service, NHS Grampian, Grampian Police, Formartine Partnership Ltd, CVS Aberdeenshire (Central and South), the Formartine Community Councils and the Formartine Community Safety Group. The plan is commented on by Aberdeenshire Councils Formartine Area Committee and is subject to public consultation. This plan will be reviewed bi-annually. There are currently 12 partner agencies which make up the Community Planning Partnership, some of which do not sit at a local level on the Formartine Community Planning Group (FCPG) but have an influence at a higher level sitting on the Community Planning Executive and the Board. These partners include: • NESTRANS • Aberdeen City and Shire Economic Future (ACSEF ) • Scottish Enterprise • Skills Development Scotland • Alcohol Drugs Partnership (ADP) The actions identified in the Plan reflect contact and dialogue held with local communities, community groups, organisations and individuals at a variety of events which have been held throughout Formartine by the Community Planning Partners. These included: • Planning for Real® exercises • Formartine Forum • Youth Engagements • Citizens Panel Surveys • Residents Survey • Balmedie Views Research Project involving Community Action Survey. • With Inclusion in Mind event FORMARTINE • Reports from Community Planning Partners COMMUNITY • Identified actions from Services PLAN • Field of Dreams Report Launch 2010 – 2014 7 Issues that have arisen over the last year include: Community Wellbeing • Request for a directory of self help services for families with children and young people with disabilities, particularly Autism. • Lack of affordable housing (for purchase or rent) • Concern regarding Anti Social Behaviour particularly driving. • A request to support the work of Meldrum Play, a group looking to develop the facilities at the Pleasure Park in Oldmeldrum. • Lack of facilities / social opportunities of those with Autism. • Concern from Young People that the Nutrition Act within schools is causing more young people to eat unhealthily by eating out with school. • Concern over access to GP’s, by obtaining appointments when they are needed and also out with 8 – 6 pm. • Access to a GP Surgery in Balmedie. Jobs and the Economy • Concern regarding the lack of employment land in the area and in particular along the Energetica Energy Corridor development. • Concern that young people are all leaving the area due to a lack of work opportunities, which may be alleviated by more support for business development via universities and colleges.

  • 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.

  • 24 Sedimentology of the Ythan Estuary, Beach and Dunes, Newburgh Area
    24 SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE YTHAN ESTUARY, BEACH AND DUNES, NEWBURGH AREA N. H. TREWIN PURPOSE The object of the excursion is to examine recent sedimentological features of the Ythan estuary and adjacent coast. Sedimentary environments include sheltered estuarine mud flats, exposed sandy beach and both active and stabilised wind blown sand dunes. Many of the sedimentary features to be described are dependent on local effects of tides, winds and currents. The features described are thus not always present, and the area is worth visiting under different weather conditions particularly during winter. ACCESS Most of the area described lies within the Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve and all notices concerning access must be obeyed, particularly during the nesting season of terns and eider ducks (Apr.-Aug.) when no access is possible to some areas. Newburgh is 21 km (13 miles) north of Aberdeen via the A92 and the A975. Parking for cars is available at the layby by locality 1 at [NK 006 2831], and on the east side of Waterside Bridge for localities 2-8 (Fig. 1). Alternatively the area can be reached by a cliff top path from The Nature Reserve Centre at Collieston and could be visited in conjunction with Excursion 13. Localities 9- 10 can be reached from the beach car park at [NK 002 247] at the end of the turning off the A975 at the Ythan Hotel. There is a single coach parking space at the parking area at Waterside bridge, but the other parking areas are guarded by narrow entrances to prevent occupation by travellers with caravans.
