All Plans affecting our communities must be more than an exercise to satisfy our statutory obligations. It must have real purpose and meaning if it is to offer real value to our communities. Finding real purpose and meaning for our communities can be challenging against a backdrop of many organisations, authorities and partners all seeking out the community’s views that might shape their own individual area of focus. This Plans aims to draw various relevant partners and plans together in a holistic way. Fraserburgh is a vibrant and dynamic town where people are committed to making it a better place for the future. It is a place however where there are significantly poorer outcomes for some as a result of socio-economic disadvantage. The Community Planning Partnership for Aberdeenshire has set out its Local Outcomes Improvement Plan and this Locality Plan is an indication of what priorities should be given in Fraserburgh. It seeks to set out what is needed to achieve improvement for Fraserburgh. It signposts and connects with the collection of Plans and Priorities that apply to Fraserburgh and how these must work together to achieve the improvements they are all striving for. Alongside the longer term strategic focus the plan identifies short-life projects that collectively Local Community Partners will deliver in a dynamic and flexible approach to give Fraserburgh the extra boost it deserves. Angela Keith, Interim Banff & Buchan Area Manager, Aberdeenshire Council and Chair of the Banff and Buchan Community Planning Group. 3 WHY A LOCALITY PLAN? A locality plan under section 10(1) of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act is a plan to improve outcomes in that locality. Fraserburgh locality has been identified as it contains communities who experience significant inequalities of outcomes from socio- economic disadvantage. The Fraserburgh Locality Plan (FLP) will determine outcomes that can be improved to reduce these inequalities. The Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership (CPP) has three priorities within its Local Outcomes Improvement Plan (LOIP): • Changing Aberdeenshire’s relationship with Alcohol • Reducing Child Poverty • Connected and Cohesive Communities While these priorities are important issues facing Fraserburgh, the aim of the FLP is to develop a plan that will address issues that the wider community feel is important to them. The FLP focuses on the third priority, “Connected and Cohesive Communities”. We need to ensure that Fraserburgh can improve at as fast a rate as other Aberdeenshire communities. This requires supporting local neighbourhoods to become stronger, build their own capacity, support vulnerable individuals and address issues like social isolation and loneliness. Partners and community engagement feedback have also identified access to transport and to services as a key concern. Travel offers the means to reach essential opportunities such as a jobs, education, shops, services and friends which affect the quality of life. Lack of mobility is inextricably linked to social disadvantage and exclusion. It is important to improve access to services, whether through affordable transport or digital connectivity and address the decreasing levels of interest in participating in decision-making. 4 INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAN The way in which we plan and support our communities and people in Aberdeenshire is changing. Traditionally, local planning has involved organisations, services and partners thinking about their own area of knowledge and expertise and not about the whole place for which we are planning. That will be different in the future. This first locality plan for Fraserburgh has been prepared on behalf of the Banff and Buchan Local Community Planning Partnership and was developed through a cooperative process involving local residents, community organisations, and partner agencies in the voluntary, private and public sectors. In this process we have been thinking about what we can all do together to improve the quality of life for people who live in the area. Our locality plan for Fraserburgh will: • Identify the local priorities that are contributing to improving local outcomes • Explain why we want to work better together locally • Bring together all the various plans affecting the area • Set out a range of areas for action to bring about positive change, and provide some information on how we have arrived at these areas for action • Describe some of the ways in which we are going to work differently in the future through partnership action • Demonstrate what we are doing will make an additional positive impact • Set out a timescale & measurements for improvement It will be supported by investment and collective leadership to ensure further community improvements are realised. 5 Profile of Fraserburgh Fraserburgh serves as a major employment and service centre within North East Aberdeenshire. It is one of Europe’s premier fishing harbours and its growth has been tied to the fortunes of the industry ever since its early origins. It offers a wide range of services with good shopping and leisure facilities. Bounded on the north and east by the sea, it has expanded inland without the landward physical constraints of many of the smaller coastline settlements. The north has undergone extensive housing regeneration and new tourism and recreation opportunities are being provided with the ongoing regeneration of the lighthouse and beach. In geographical terms Fraserburgh is comparatively distant from key markets and opportunities and as a result suffers from pockets of deprivation despite relative economic success.

  • Fraser She Was Born in 1910 and Died 2003
    Notes: 1. Woman keep their maiden name in the telling of this tale to avoid confusion. In fact, in Scotland many woman used their maiden name throughout their married life . 2. Spelling was pretty fluid before the 20th century so expect to see names and places spelled differently over time. Accent also changed spelling and people wrote down what they heard for example Mairshell for Marshall. 3. The map to the right shows Aberdeen and Banffshire the birthplaces of most of the people in this story. In the main, they inhabited the far north of the counties. 4. I've tried to use our great-great-great-great-great-grand parents as a starting point. They are abbreviated to 5x Great Grandparents in the texts 1 This is the start of Jennifer and Keith Jolly's family history and the reason I'm starting with our maternal grandmother's family is simple. It has been the easiest to follow back in time. The Nobles of Broadsea have been well researched and the records in Banffshire are far more complete than those I've found in other parts of Scotland. In the main, these people hug the coast line following the work whether that be in fishing, making barrels or curing fish. We have butchers, blacksmiths, masons, and tailors and a multitude of people working the land often as farm servants but sometimes as crofters. In the beginning we're all in the far north of Scotland up around that piece of water we call the Moray firth. Over time people will move south to gain employment but for this branch of the family that still means north of the river Tay.
