A short introduction to the Middlefield regeneration work in Aberdeen.
This Project has been developed with the community, during a consultation process that commenced in 2014. A ‘Total Place’ audit was undertaken of this neighbourhood. One of the identified actions was to upgrade this Park.
In November 2015, consultations were undertaken on what improvements should be made to the Park. Children were consulted at after-schools club. Wider views were also obtained via Facebook. An audit of the streets and paths in and around this Park was undertaken in June 2016 by Living Streets and members of the public. A detailed design consultation was undertaken on 3rd September 2016. The draft Concept Design was then further reviewed and modified by community activists on 28th September 2016.
This site is within Data Zone (2016) S01006727 ‘Heathryfield and Middlefield’. Overall SIMD rank 893. 2nd most deprived decile.
The Project will provide a high quality, outdoor recreational space that is readily accessible to those whose life choices are limited by their personal circumstances. It is intended that these persons will also be supported in participating in a wide range of activities within this Park. It is anticipated that these improvements and activities will have a positive effect on a range of deprivation indicators. The strategic objectives of this project are:
