Labour to revamp Gardens plans
Eight years ago, Labour councillors led the opposition to plans by the then joint Liberal Democrat and Conservative administration to implement full pedestrianisation of Union Street, the city’s main thoroughfare, between Bridge Street and Market Street.
But now, as part of the administration’s alternative regeneration plans for the city centre, the Labour group is set to pursue proposals to ban all traffic – expect buses – from the same stretch of Union Street and to fully pedestrianise Broad Street where the council’s new headquarters at Marischal College are sited.
