Purpose:

Content: To provide the following comment in relation to the Draft Place Information and Delivery Team Strategy 2025-2030:   The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) focuses on economic deprivation and doesn’t account for the geographic access indicator. It was very important to consider the geographic access elements of the SIMD given the rurality of Aberdeenshire, particularly in Ward 15 and the Marr Area.
