Council launch initiative for transparency in public spending

Aberdeen City Council have launched a new initiative to highlight citywide developments to the public.

Shaping Aberdeen is a long-term programme designed to increase transparency and keep the public informed about how public money is spent.

Council leader Jenny Laing said: “Aberdeen has experienced considerable growth and investment in recent years and it is broadly recognised that if that growth is to be sustained, we must act now and deliver what the city needs.

“We are already doing that through our Strategic Infrastructure Plan, which has identified five key priorities: housing, transport, connectivity, city image, and skills.

“The SIP is not only deliverable, but is also achievable and costed. We have spoken a lot about what the council will do to shape and improve Aberdeen for the future. Now we are going to show what the council is achieving.

“We are moving into the delivery stage and I think it is important that our council tax and rates payers can see at a glance where their money is going.

“Shaping Aberdeen will showcase these essential projects to the public and let them see what and how much is being achieved and what our city is capable of.”

The programme will allow the local authority to communicate with city residents and businesses in a range of ways including social media, and the live broadcasting of council meetings.

Anyone with questions about Shaping Aberdeen is invited to contact the council of ShapingAberdeen@aberdeencity.gov.uk
