Ballater (RD) Ltd, or simply BRD, has helped many local projects both practically and financially. Some, like the Ballater Eagle, Ballater Victoria Week and the Geddes Project are well established with their own organising committees. Others, some of which are listed below, continue to be part of BRD’s commitments and we take a major part in both organising them and raising the necessary funds.

However, the project will be a major undertaking and has two important constraints – it must be self-financing and it must not undermine the village halls. The group has carried out numerous study trips to similar centres in the east of Scotland and commissioned a Feasibility Study which reported favourably. At present the signs are promising based on a mixture of commercial and community uses. The steering group will keep the community informed about how the plans are progressing.
Why
BRD is needed. BRD is part of the Royal Deeside Partnership. We acknowledge the help and support received from Cairngorms National Park Authority, Leader +, Scottish Enterprise (Grampian) and Marr Area Partnership. |
