OUR VILLAGE - OUR VOICE - OUR FUTURE
Have your say
"What is good about Aboyne now?"
"How could we make Aboyne better in the future?"
"How could we make Aboyne better in the future?"
To help us understand what our community thinks is good about our village but also where we can make improvements, we need to know the aspirations and priorities of the people who live in, work in or regularly visit Aboyne
Autumn 2023 Community Survey
In September and October 2023 we asked all residents, businesses, clubs and interest groups in Aboyne to complete a survey, and also people who visit and use the village.
The survey was available online to everyone who lives, works in or visits Aboyne. We also distributed 1500 surveys to all households in Aboyne and through local businesses, who also kindly took in completed paper surveys.
We are delighted to have received over 400 responses, which is a great result!
Survey questions
In our survey, we looked at 14 themes:
Moving around - Public transport - Traffic and parking - Streets and spaces - Natural space - Play and recreation - Facilities and services - Work and local economy - Housing and community - Social interaction - Identity and belonging - Feeling safe - Care and maintenance - Influence and sense of control
These themes are from "The Place Standard Tool", which guidance recommends. This tool is widely respected for effective and objective community engagement
