The Maud Village Trust has been operating now for ten years, in which time the original Mart site has changed completely, bearing no resemblance to the cattle market days. The area is now a filled with building providing many amenities and thriving businesses.

We have almost completed the mart development we started in 2002. Nine years on and we have seen the mart site change from a busy cattle market to equally busy centres that provide Resources, Services and Special Accommodation to the Community.

Once again we have seen a change to the Old Mart site. We started the final phase of “Putting the Heart Back into Maud”. This project involved the developing of the remaining ¾ acre of ground into improved Service Centre access, gardens and play areas.

This year has seen the opening of the new Community Resource Centre. It was open for business on the 27th November 2008 and is now working well with the NHS and Aberdeenshire Council Social Work department services.

This year has seen the most significant changes to the old mart site. The community Service Centre is now complete and we have two tenants, namely Buchan IT and E-Learning Services (Bites) and Buchan Dial-a-Community Bus (BDACB) who have taken up residence.
