News on Tilly-Wood Map (Streets for All)

Last week we had the pleasure of talking to local residents and community groups across Tillydrone and Woodside to find out more about the local area and what changes people would like to see. We met with community groups including Printfield Project in Woodside; Donside Village; and the Over 55’s lunch club in Tillydrone. We also organised activities with Food and Fun at Riverbank Primary School and Fersands Project Group in Woodside.

Below are a few highlights from the week:

We went out with Fersands Project Group to understand their daily movements in the area by collecting information, drawing on observations and counting the numbers of cars, pedestrians and cyclists.

Here is what they filled out:

The Food and Fun group recorded their 'Journey to School' to show what they see in their journey to and from school.

We also visited Donside Village and were lucky enough to receive a tour around the newly built, community owned, hydro scheme! Take a look below, and spot it on our postcard!

Check out their 'Splatter Zone' which was created by the community to brighten up the area using recycled objects.

Thanks to everyone who welcomed us, took part in our activities and shared their comments on the area. We look forward to arranging more visits and making sure the project involves the whole community.

We’ll be holding our next public session to develop your comments into design ideas on Tuesday 27 November . Watch this space for further details but save the date in your diary for now! If you are part of a community group and want to get involved in the project or have a local event coming up you’d like to share please let us know by emailing Emily, emily.gait@sustrans.org.uk .
