A reminder that new permanent 20mph speed limits in built-up areas across Aberdeenshire go live this coming Monday (Sept 22nd).

View the streets being made 20s and see our FAQs at https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/20mph

The roll-out follows the Scottish Government’s commitment to see all appropriate roads in built-up areas having a safer speed limit of 20mph by the end of 2025 and all associated costs are being covered by Transport Scotland.

Most housing developments built from 2000 onwards already have 20mph limits or speed-reducing measures such as road humps.

The new 20mph programme extends these limits into village and town centres and other roads where there is a good case for lowering the speed limit.

We’ve set up a monitoring programme from the start of the 20mph roll-out to monitor road traffic speeds, road casualties and public perceptions. We will compare speed surveys from before the introduction of the 20mph and afterwards to measure the immediate impact.

We will also continue to monitor the 20mph network to determine speed and casualty trends over a longer period of time and consider adjustments if necessary.

We've launched a new start-up grant scheme for businesses funded entirely through the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.

Start-up businesses can now apply for £1,000 to help get a new venture off the ground or £3,000 if it is taking on premises.

Business will be supported through the Business Gateway service and have an advisor support them.

The grant scheme in 2024/25 supported 183 application and of those 27 were supported to take on premises.

🚨A reminder that the UK Government is testing its Emergency Alerts system this Sunday (Sept 7) at 3pm 🚨

Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather.

⚠️Those living with domestic abuse who have secondary phones could be at risk⚠️

You can opt out in your phone’s settings to protect your safety:

📲iPhone: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings ➡ Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts
📲Android: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings ➡ Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts (and other threat categories if listed)
