Your Place, Your Plans, Your Future – Engagement Results

From 24 March to 18 May 2025, people across Aberdeen had the chance to shape the future of their communities through Your Place, Your Plans, Your Future — a citywide engagement.

Residents were invited to share what they love about where they live and what changes they would like to see across 14 different themes. We also asked if you agreed with the priorities and actions in our current draft plans and strategies. A total of 2,087 people participated, providing 13,433 comments across the 14 themes. The feedback gathered is now helping to shape a range of important local strategies and plans: the Local Housing Strategy, Health and Social Care Partnership Strategic Plan, Community Learning and Development Plan, Local Development Plan, Visitor Levy Proposal, Children’s Services Plan, and the Local Outcome Improvement Plan and Locality Plans.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Your Place, Your Plans, Your Future between 24 March and 18 May 2025.

You can see the results of our engagement in the reports below and watch our video which highlights the ways residents could share your voice in the engagement.
