How can YOU help?
There are many ways you could help us, this article lists just a few ideas, but we're always open to suggestions...
Our Plans for 2007
• We must ensure that the infrastructure is right. “Core” environmental enhancements will play a larger part in our work – so we need to put pressure on to get more focus on the basics, such as litter clearance and better maintenance of public facilities such as shelters, seats and fences. If necessary we should be prepared to do as well as to preach!
• We must also ask businesses not only to help us but also to help themselves – we should provide innovative ideas for their frontages and environs and help to deliver them.
Planting Pride in the Community
Culter in Bloom is a sub-committee of Peterculter Community Council.
The aim of Culter in Bloom is to improve the environment in Peterculter for everyone by planting flowers, bulbs and shrubs in public areas and encouraging and helping residents and local businesses to do the same on their property.

Coronation Road
22 Dec 06 Good News! We've succeeded in gaining more support to develop the public area off Coronation Road in 2007.
Aberdeen Countryside Project will help us to plant out some areas with native species trees and wildflowers to give year round colour and variety, and to maintain the "wooded look" which is presently mainly provided by the mature woodland in the grounds of Priory Hill - but won't always be there unless renewed.
