Save Union Terrace Gardens - The City Square Project v Peacock

The two options for transformation of Union Terrace Gardens (UTG) and the Denburn Valley in Aberdeen. Both schemes aim to create a vibrant, accessible, safe and connected public space, however the City Square Project will destroy the gardens.

Great stuff. Well done. It's just madness that the gardens are even up for discussion. Trees not concrete!

[koos48]

Well done. I wish I could be there to support this noble case.

Has the granite worn out? Do the squirrels not meet E.U. regulations? What is the need to transform these gardens? Watch some videos of the toxic waste seeping under the sand at Blackdog if you want to see a local site that urgently needs transformation.

I can't for the life of me understand why Union Street Gardens needs transforming. It is already a pefect public space.

the ninian central platform is part of the worn out and conceptually flawed 70,s oil infrastructure in the north sea. an entirely predictable major pollution event would occur if prompt, safe decommissioning was not carried out, paid for by those who accumulated millions through the use of that infrastructure. wood and company will of course face up to their responsibilities, providing funds and expertise for this essential work. did you think the oil was a free lunch?

@Rossco242 I presume it is because they are not open to allowing everyone to express their opinions

[MrRonnie28]

@randomlaughingman good comments by yourself . the percentage vote against it . they stick the fingers up and roll over to a powerful buiseness man once again . we should start a fucking revolution and start guillotining councillors . in public!

All this hysteria over what is currently an oval of grass with tar paths and about 200 steps at either end. Why not find something worth campaigning about to satisfy your urge to rebel and 'fight' something.

"Can you kiss concrete"?

Well, yes you can. It happens to the

tanked up idiots who fall flat on their

faces on Union Street any weekend.

The Council prefer the Green Buck to

the Green Grass.

The city slogan should have been,

"Aberdeen, keep it clean of all thats Green".
