Publication of Buchanhaven Action Plan Welcomed by SNP Councillors

Peterhead North & Rattray SNP councillors Anne Allan and Fiona McRae have welcomed the publication of the 2012 Community Action Plan for Buchanhaven.

This document draws together the findings from consultations done in the area over the past months since the Buchanhaven Heritage Society was formed in February.  One of the aims of the Society is to take over the old Buchanhaven School and turn it into a community hub. 

Commenting, Councillor Anne Allan said:

"This group is one of the most active community groups in Peterhead and I am delighted to support them. 

“They have engendered a new community spirit in Buchanhaven over the past months, organising lots of things for families to do, from the Gala day to craft fairs, art exhibitions and history and heritage events.  The community has really got behind this group with every event packed out.  This Action plan will now guide their steps as they move forward towards their goals.”

Councillor Fiona McRae added:

“Buchanhaven Heritage Society and the Buchan Development Partnership are to be commended for taking the initiative and asking the local community for their views on a range of matters.

“The resulting document is an impressive one, drawing together community views and provides a blueprint for further action.”
