COMMUNITY PLANNING ABERDEEN
Our Localities
Locality Planning is a term used to describe community planning partners working within a geographical area to plan for and deliver improved outcomes. This involves the development of a plan which seeks to make things better for the community. Community Planning Aberdeen believes working with local communities to develop and deliver these plans offers the best chance of success.
For the purpose of locality planning, we have split the City of Aberdeen into three localities: North, South and Central. These localities are made up of Aberdeen’s 37 Neighbourhoods.

Priority
Neighbourhoods
We consider some of these neighbourhoods to be ‘priority neighbourhoods’. This is based on analysis from the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). These neighbourhoods need additional support to benefit from the same opportunities to thrive and succeed as other neighbourhoods within Aberdeen. Our priority neighbourhoods include:
7.Heathryfold
8.Middlefield
10.Northfield
11.Cummings Park
13.Mastrick

Locality Plans
For each Locality we have developed a plan in partnership with communities to improve outcomes for the area. The locality plans drill down from city wide Local Outcome Improvement Plan to tackle the issues which are of most importance to local communities. It is by doing this that we will ensure no community is left behind in realising our vision of Aberdeen as a place where all people can prosper.
Locality Empowerment Groups and Priority Neighbourhood Partnerships
We have established three Locality Empowerment Groups to help us build connections with the communities we will be working with to plan and deliver improved outcomes for the locality. The Locality Empowerment Groups are open to any community member or representative of a community group/ network living in the area that has an interest in working collectively to improve outcomes for the Locality. You can find out more about the Locality Empowerment Groups here.
In addition to the three Locality Empowerment Groups, we will continue to support the Priority Neighbourhood Partnerships formed in 2017. The Locality Empowerment Groups will take an overview of broad issues across the locality area and priority neighbourhood partnerships will focus on the local area that they cover. It is intended that the groups will be mutually supportive, with the LEGs being able to get involved in a number of cross cutting issues for the area and PNPs taking a lead on tackling the issues unique to their neighbourhood.
