Public asked for views on new Buckie seating area
Buckie locals are being asked for their views on new seating in the north east quadrant of the town’s Cluny Square.
The seating has been designed by S4 pupils at Buckie High School and is shaped like a herring in tribute to the town’s rich heritage and culture of fishing. The project is being taken forward as part of the Buckie Town Centre Improvement Plan.
The existing telescope and plinth will remain in place and the seating is expected to be installed by June 2025.
An online consultation runs until Friday 21 February with an in-person feedback session in Buckie’s North Church Hall between 2pm and 7pm on Tuesday 4 February.
Views are being asked for on how the seats should be arranged, incorporating cycle racks into the seating and what local phrases people would like to see inscribed on the seating and other street furniture.
Feedback is also being sought on the designs featured on nearby bollards.
Chair of Moray Council’s Economic, Development and Infrastructure Services Committee, Cllr Marc Macrae, said: “This seating will help create a lovely space that reflects the town’s unique heritage, while allowing people to meet socially and enjoy the views across the harbour. It would be great to see the whole town get involved in giving their feedback on the plans.”
