Demonstration against Kingsford Stadium plans

The campaign to stop Aberdeen building their new stadium on the outskirts of the city is stepping up a gear.

There's going to be a demonstration this morning at Aberdeenshire Council ahead of it being discussed by councillors.

The No Kingsford Stadium Group wants the local authority to oppose the plans, although the final decision will be made by the City Council later this year.

They're worried about the impact of traffic and parking in the Westhill area.

But AFC Chairman Stewart Milne's told Northsound News it's something the whole region needs - not just the club.

And he says they've already won over critics by addressing their concerns - and he's confident they can convince more people in the months to come.

The protest is due to start at half past nine at Woodhill House in Aberdeen.

Close to a thousand people voted in our Northsound News twitter poll last week on the Kingsford stadium plans.
