🌟 Exciting Ideas Taking Shape for Peterhead! 🌟

The We Are Peterhead Board continues to explore and develop a range of projects aimed at supporting the future of our town. While many of these ideas are still being refined, there is plenty of positive work happening behind the scenes.

Some of the projects currently being developed include:

🪟 Window Graphics – exploring creative designs that could brighten vacant shopfronts and enhance the appearance of the town centre.

🌿 Town Centre Greening – looking at opportunities to introduce more greenery and improve the look and feel of public spaces, helping to create a more welcoming town centre for everyone.

📱 Digital Town App & Display Screens – developing new ways to share information about local businesses, events, attractions and community activities, making it easier to stay connected with what's happening in Peterhead.

🧹 Town Centre Maintenance – building on recent improvement work and exploring longer-term approaches to keeping the town centre clean, attractive and well cared for.

🎓 Peterhead Academy Youth Action Project – supporting young people to develop ideas and take an active role in shaping projects that can benefit their community.

These projects are all at different stages of development, with planning, consultation and partnership working continuing as ideas are refined. The Board remains committed to identifying opportunities that can enhance Peterhead, support local pride and create positive outcomes for residents, businesses and visitors alike.

📣 Keep an eye on our page for future updates as these exciting ideas continue to progress.
