News on Tilly-Wood Proposals (Streets for All)

On 2nd April 2019, our team joined the Connection Day organised by Fersands and Fountain Community Project to speak to local people about the initial designs for Tillydrone and Woodside. During the day, we held a stall with visuals to show the current street layout and potential changes.

We talked through the design ideas and were delighted with the level of enthusiasm shown by people of all ages!

Some of the children had taken part in our Big Street Survey last October and were happy to see that the observations and comments from that session had been included in the initial designs. They pointed out the importance of safer crossings, provided more insightful observations on the interaction between pedestrians and cyclists , as well as suggested to put more bike parking in the neighbourhood.

We would like to thank Fersands and Fountain Community Project for the opportunity to join this event. It's important to include children and young people in the development of the space they use and travel to ensure they feel safe, and can use the place to play, learn and grow. Engaging young people enables us to understand the unique perspective they have regarding their environments, highlights their priorities and solutions they propose.

We were very impressed with their feedback and it is great to see the younger generation confident to share their ideas. We will continue the engagement of young people, joining Riverbank Primary School on 29th April.

This event is part of the Design Consultation which is currently open to public feedback. The comments and feedback from this stage will help us develop the initial designs in more detail over the next few months. You can provide feedback to us by Friday 26 April via:

Join the project team for a walk through of the design ideas. Walks will last approximately an hour, stopping at each of the design locations where you will learn more about the designs and have the opportunity to ask us any questions. The walk starts from Woodside Fountain Centre at 12:30pm .

Join us for this community clean up event to help make Tillydrone and Woodside a cleaner and more attractive place for all to enjoy.

The event is being run by the project team in support of the local communities #TidierTilly initiative, working to tackle littering in the neighbourhood. The event also supports the national Spring Clean campaign by Keep Scotland Beautiful. Please find details below and join the Facebook event :
