  • Read Full Press Release
    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE 00:01 MONDAY 30 MAY 2016 The annual Bank of Scotland Seaside Town Review tracks house price movements in 59 seaside towns in Scotland. The review is based on house price data from Registers of Scotland for the period 2005 to 2015. HOUSE PRICES IN SCOTLAND’S SEASIDE TOWNS RISE BY £348 PER MONTH IN PAST DECADE The average house price in Scotland's seaside towns has grown by £348 per month since 2005, according to the latest Bank of Scotland Seaside Towns Review. Over the past decade, the average price has grown by 39%, from £108,449 to £150,210 – exceeding the 32% increase for all seaside towns in Britain. Seven of the top ten coastal towns with the biggest price increases are located in Aberdeenshire, which for much of the period has been well served by the growth in the oil and gas sector. Fraserburgh has seen the greatest level of house price growth with a rise of 139% from £63,540 in 2005 to £151,719 in 2015, equivalent to a monthly increase of £735. Macduff also recorded a doubling on average property values (102%) from £66,226 to £133,567, followed by Peterhead (95%), Cove Bay (94%) and Newtonhill (91%). (Table 1) Lerwick in the Shetlands saw the second biggest growth amongst Scottish seaside towns, rising by £81,812 to £159, 325 – an increase of 106%. Other towns outside Aberdeenshire with the largest price increases include Millport (84%) and Campbeltown (69%). A further 22 coastal towns – out of the 59 surveyed – have recorded price increases of at least 50% since 2005.

  • Colleagues, As We Head Towards the Festive Period, Aware That Many Of
    Colleagues, As we head towards the festive period, aware that many of you will be working over this time while others head off for a well-earned break. I wanted to write to you all to say thank you for all the hard work you have put in to delivering high quality, person centred services. There have been many challenges but the Partnership has continued to take shape this year with more co-location and new teams emerging. The appointment of Partnership Managers and now all Location Managers mean we will start 2017 under our new structure which has multi-disciplinary location teams at the very cen- tre of everything we do. From 16 January 2017 the new structure, detailed in this newsletter, will be in place. There will be a period of tranisition but I am very pleased to announce this important step. You will also see we have appointed Chris Allan as Clinical Lead, Eunice Chisholm as Lead Nurse and Shona Strachan as AHP Professional Lead. We hope to be able to appoint a Social Work Lead shortly. The IJB has also been busy this year and will be setting their budget early in the new year. I would encourage all of you to look at Aberdeenshire Council’s budget engagement at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/budgetengagement and if you have a spare few minutes over the Christmas period fill in the surveys. It is important we all have our say on the important decisions which will be made next year. Once again thank you for all your work this year and i hope you have a great Christmas and New Year.
