Residents in Peterhead are being invited to comment on design proposals for a new community campus.

Council staff have been carrying out investigations on potential sites for the project, which will provide nursery, primary and secondary education, as well as providing primary and secondary pupils with additional support needs and leisure and community facilities.

However, these requirements are not final and will be reassessed based on community feedback on the proposals.

To gather views on the emerging designs and potential sites, a public meeting will be held from 7pm – 9pm in the Assembly Hall at Peterhead Academy on Tuesday, 22 November. Following the event, emerging plans will be available to view online.

Cllr Alison Evison said: "What we want to see in Aberdeenshire is equity of education provision across the whole area.

"So council officers have been hard at work to consider a range of options to enhance our school and community buildings in Peterhead to make sure they meet the needs of our young people and wider community.

"As part of this process it is vital that we get as many views as possible so we can develop requirements, not only for Peterhead Academy but also for primary schools in the area, for pupils with additional support needs and in terms of community and leisure facilities.

"Of course any new building isn't going to go up overnight but this is the first step in a very exciting process and we can only get it right for the community in Peterhead if we hear from them."
