News on Aberfeldy New Masterplan

After a year of working with the design team to help shape the future of Aberfeldy, on 22 June Langdon Park pupils were awarded certificates by local Councillor Rajib Ahmed to recognise and celebrate their participation in this unique youth-led project.

Pupils have been participating in sessions with architects ZCD Architects, Morris & Co, Levitt Bernstein and LDA telling the design team their ideas to improve Aberfeldy.

Year 9 pupils Shakila Begum and Jumayra Islam told us; “It’s something that we’ve not experienced before and it’s not an opportunity many people get. It’s nice to have our voices heard and our contributions listened to.”

Councillor Rajib Ahmed, councillor for Lansbury Ward, said; “It’s fantastic and refreshing to see our young people involved in the conversation about the future of their area, because they are the future. Our young people want to see the area improve and it’s good to see the design team is listening to their ideas”.
