BT Payphone Box Removal Consultation
| BT are currently carrying out a consultation on the proposed removal of 24 public phone boxes in Aberdeenshire. You may have seen details of this consultation posted on affected phoneboxes within this area.
Following an initial consultation with communities, Aberdeenshire Council have prepared a draft response to BT setting out whether we agree or object to the proposals for each phone box and the reasons why. This draft response is attached below. We would now like to ask for any further comments on the draft before submitting our final response to BT.
Please email any comments/ feedback to statistics@aberdeenshire.gov.uk by 18 October 2020.
Communities may be interested to know that they have the option of ‘adopting’ their local box once the phone has been removed. More information on this can be found at http://bt.com/adopt |

Consultation on Draft Young Carer Strategy 2021-2023
| The consultation is now open on the Draft Aberdeenshire Young Carer Strategy 2021 – 2023. This strategy is for all Aberdeenshire young carers up to the age of 18 years old and has been developed through discussions with young carers to gather their views and reflect the opinions of young carers across Aberdeenshire, and other key partners in social work, education, health and the third sector. This is an update of the original Young Carer Strategy which was developed in line with the Carers (Scotland) Act's duty to have a Local Carer Strategy in place.
We encourage young carers and as many people as possible to read our draft Young Carer Strategy 2021 - 2023 and complete the survey to give their views. If you have any queries, please contact the Carer Support Team via email to carersupport@aberdeenshire.gov.uk or telephone 01467 536677. The survey will close on 18th October 2020 at 23:45. |

Review of the Scheme of Establishment for Community Councils
| We are required by law to provide a governance framework under which community councils operate. This is called the Scheme of Establishment for Community Councils. View the current Scheme of Establishment for Community Councils (pdf 1.2MB).
The legislation also requires that the scheme is reviewed on a regular basis and this review looks at a number of aspects of the scheme in different phases. |
