Do we have
the resources to support a place-based approach?;

How many of
the elements cited in the original regeneration plans have been
delivered?
·
The
calculation of “Achievements” needs to be revisited as
some numbers are questioned and present a misleading view of the
economic landscape;
·
The support
for the Silversmith needs to be analysed to ensure economic benefit
(was the accommodation fully booked (if so, does this indicated a
development opportunity – or if not fully booked, are there
alternative uses?);
·
It was
anticipated that a/ major hotel chain(s) might be brought to
Fraserburgh, given need for conference size hotel with function
rooms and the empty Station and Royal Hotels;
·
The focus
and momentum must be continued during the transition to other
plans;
·
Need to
ensure that projects ongoing are still supported in the place plan
and come back to area committee in the future;

Community
Benefit from progressive procurement to be assessed; and
