Petition calls for Aberdeen city centre roads re-think

Business owners in Aberdeen say pedestrianisation measures designed to encourage shoppers back into the city centre could actually have a devastating impact on trade.

A number of temporary road closures have been put in place aimed at helping people stay socially distant, including a section of Union Street, Chapel Street, Rose Street and Thistle Street.

Aberdeen City Council says the changes will allow people to move safely around, to help start its social and economic recovery.

However a petition calling for a re-think has gathered more than 1,000 signatures.
