1. Union Terrace Gardens, Aberdeen and Peacock support 
Despite widespread local opposition, Aberdeen City Council has voted on 19 May 2010 to fill in its only green city centre space to create a vast square.
The creation will be the end of the historic Denburn Valley, the end of 80 previously listed beautiful trees which clean the city centre's are, and which will cost over £140 million according to current estimates.
The city can find money for this plan it says, but yet cannot fill its many potholed roads and it has cut many programmes for people with special needs and carers.
2. Support the City Square Project
In 2008, Sir Ian Wood pledged £50m of his personal fortune to creating a civic heart for the City of Aberdeen.
This heart would be created in the space of Union Terrace Gardens and the Denburn Valley.
The project is now being lead by Aberdeen City and Shire Economic Future (ACSEF) under the branding "the City Square Project" and will consult the public starting 11 January 2010 on what they would like to see included in the new space.
It is a bold, ambitious project to regenerate our city centre and help create and safeguard jobs now and in the future. Delivery of this project would firmly position Aberdeen City and Shire as a global energy centre, capable of attracting and retaining people, business and investment.
If the City Square project does go ahead, it will need to gain planning permission and funding. There will also be further detailed consultation before submitting any planning application. And should the project go ahead, it could be delivered as early as 2014.
