More things to do in the park for younger kids and teenagers 3 The Mearns Youth Forum Introduction The Mearns Youth Consultation 2008 In 2008 young people across the Mearns told us that there wasn’t much to do and they wanted more places to hang out, that they wanted more lighting in parks, that transport was too expensive and that there was not enough buses connecting smaller villages with towns, young people also told us that there are not enough leisure facilities and that access should be cheaper. Young people asked for more places to get information and many said they were uncomfortable talking to professionals. Young people said that they weren’t listened to or consulted about things that affect them. Young people felt strongly that they aren’t included in decision making. What has been done? • The Mearns Youth Forum has worked to ensure that young people are listened to and involved in decision making and now have representation at the Mearns Area Partnership and on the Laurencekirk Medical Centre Patient Participation group. • The Mearns Youth Forum worked with young people from the Portlethen Action Team and the Stonehaven Young People’s Society to produce a youth information guide funded by the Kincardine and Mearns Community Planning group. • The Kincardine and Mearns Community Planning group are looking at lighting in parks. • Representations have been made by the Mearns Area Partnership on behalf of the Mearns Youth Forum to the Kincardine and Mearns Transport Forum and by the young people themselves to NESTRANS at community planning events although this has not resulted increased provision. • Plans for the new Mearns Academy included improved leisure facilities. • Working alongside staff from Mearns Community Centre youth forum members have helped re-open the Friday night youth café, which also operates as an information point. • The Mearns Youth Forum supported by youth workers have set up two music and media projects for young people in the area. • Two youth events have highlighted youth work in the Mearns and the services available to young people living in the area. 4 Mearns Youth Consultation 2011 The Mearns Youth Consultation 2011 In October of 2010 the Mearns Youth Forum successfully applied to the Kincardine and Mearns Community Planning Group for funding to conduct a follow up consultation. The Community Planning Group also submitted questions to the youth forum which were included in the questionnaire. The consultation was run in February at Mearns Academy, at the Friday night youth café, at youth work groups and online, via the youth forum website. 144 young people took part. We do not know exactly the size of the population, but as the current role of Mearns Academy is 610 we could say that we engaged with between 15 – 20% of young people aged 12 – 25 living in the area, taking into consideration that some young people are privately educated, attend college, university, are in employment or unemployed. Back in 2008 young people from the Mearns took part in the Mearns Youth Consultation. Although the participation by young people was great, many of the issues they raised have not been addressed. The 2011 consultation revealed that transport is still an issue, as well as lack of lighting in parks. This time the Mearns Youth Forum hope more will be done. Many young people felt that there should be more youth friendly areas to hang out, despite the forum helping to run the youth café and the music and media project. Young people have also made it clear that they feel less safe in the Mearns than they did three years ago. Hopefully within this report you will find some facts that relate to your area of interest or expertise. We feel that as a strong youth group in the Mearns, we can work together with you to achieve positive outcomes on these issues. Each section begins with our summary of what young people told us, what we think needs to be done to address the issues and what we, as the Mearns Youth Forum, think we can do to help. We have put our logo on each of these pages so it is clear that the opinions represented are those of the Mearns Youth Forum and not those who took part.

    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.

Our innovative and contemporary vision of a new place is responsive to context and the environment. Our objective is to enhance the strong sense of place with a vision that enthuses the public and meets the Government’s and Local Authority’s objectives. We have sought to apply an holistic approach to place-making similar to that of the Scottish Sustainable Communities Initiative (SSCI) which has marked a step change in the Scottish Government’s work to transform the design, quality and environmental standards of the Scottish built environment. 4 Aerial photo of former RAF Edzell Base indicating adjacency of proposed uses and context 5 Masterplan Objectives • Newesk village and Edzell Woods to combine to support a sustainable community with access to community amenities, services, retail, transportation and open space provision in a stunning landscape setting • Significant improvements to infrastructure, including mains water connection + sewerage works serving Newesk village and Edzell Woods • Employment opportunities to be created in Newesk village and the neighbouring Edzell Base Business and Industry Park • Immediately available and serviced land to support emerging renewable and existing energy business opportunities Figure X.Y Title 6 Edzell Base Aerial Photo Image © Iain Guthrie 7 Why Newesk? • Major Brownfield site comprising 178 Hectares • Close proximity to national infrastructure (road, rail and ports) • National planning policy favours sustainable brownfield development • Principle of development is already established • Outline Planning Permission for housing, industrial, business + storage • Existing established uses on site provide 263,000 sqft of office, industrial and warehousing and 27 Hectares of storage • 90 people currently employed on the site.
