Meeting to discuss the future of Turriff Municipal Building

Aberdeenshire Council have called a meeting to discuss the future of the former Turriff municipal building on High Street.

The municipal buildings which were used by Aberdeenshire Council until 2012 are now surplus to requirements. Turriff Town House Association have been using the building under licence since 2013 while the prepared a Community Asset Transfer application. Unfortunately the application to transfer the building in to the hands of the association failed and now Aberdeenshire Council are looking at alternative uses for the building.
