A north-east council office will reopen its doors on Monday following a major £1.75million refurbishment.
Banff Town House on Low Street now has a customer service point for local residents to deal with all local authority requests.
The chairman of Aberdeenshire Council’s policy and resources committee, councillor Martin Kitts-Hayes said: “This has been a fairly ambitious project to make sure we’re making the best use of our council offices and to help customers access services in a consistent and convenient manner.
“It has been developed in a way that aims to encourage custom in the town-centre and support wider regeneration of the town.”
John Cox, chairman of the local area committee, added: “The new council services will bring people back into the town-centre, and the refurbishment works at the Town House will definitely provide a better experience for staff and customers alike.”
Disabled access to the building has been improved as part of the refurbishment project.
The housing and benefits team will be at Banff Town House from Monday.
