  • Stronger Together
    Stronger Together Prosperity for Aberdeen 2017-2022 Aberdeen City Council Conservative and Unionist Party, Aberdeen Labour and Independent Alliance Group Programme for Aberdeen City Council 2017-2022 Our Vision As a returning coalition, we intend to build on what we have already put in place between 2012 and 2017. The Council’s strategic business plan refresh, approved unanimously at the Council’s Budget meeting in February 2017, agreed the alignment of the Strategic Business Plan to Aberdeen City Community Planning Partnership’s Local Outcome Improvement Plan, as well as alignment to the coalition’s policy document “Smarter Aberdeen”. Our new policy document “Stronger Together” for 2017 to 2022 builds on the 2017-2018 strategic business plan, thereby ensuring the continuity of the priorities we set in our last administration whilst incorporating some new priorities which are a direct response to the changing economic and social conditions the City now faces. We recognise, of course, that our priorities must be delivered within the financial parameters agreed by the Council at the Budget meeting in February 2017. Aberdeen has been the northern powerhouse of both the UK and Scottish economy in recent times, but the fall in the global oil price has seen Aberdeen’s economic contribution reduce. We know the strength of the City’s business community and we commit to working with the business community and all relevant public partners in order to ensure the conditions for future business success are in place within the City. To unlock the economic potential of Aberdeen and reduce inequalities in our city, we see greater devolution of powers to the City from the Scottish government, and where applicable the UK government as a key requirement.
