Town Centre Health Checks

Published: 11 December 2025Last Updated: 19 March 2026

Town Centre Health Checks look at the factors that help a town centre stay successful. They help us understand how lively, active, and resilient each town centre is.

The reports share the findings from these health checks. They don't provide a final judgement on the overall wellbeing of a town centre. Instead, they offer evidence that lets us compare places and identify actions that could help improve or maintain their condition.

Town Centre Health Checks are done annually for the 9 main towns in Aberdeenshire:

  • Banchory
  • Banff
  • Ellon
  • Fraserburgh
  • Huntly

  • Peterhead
  • Stonehaven
