Union Street pedestrianisation could result in 'generational change'
The Manager of the Trinity Centre believes it would create a "vibrant city centre"
Managers of the Trinity Centre in Aberdeen's city centre have called for Union Street to remain pedestrianised, amid plans to re-introduce buses to the area later in June.
The centre has echoed calls by Aberdeen Inspired, the city centre Business Improvement District (BID), for residents to make their positive views on pedestrianisation known to councillors, saying it is the key to unlocking a brighter future for Aberdeen's city centre.
The campaign has already been backed by various local businesses, including Siberia, Mr Dun Barbershop and Specsavers, amongst others.
Manager of the Trinity Centre, Linda Stewart, believes pedestrianising the area would encourage investment back into the region.
"The formation of the pedestrianised zone is the natural progression from the work at Union Terrace Gardens to allow for the streetscape of Union Street to flourish into a city centre Aberdeen can once again be proud of.
“This will encourage investment back into the city and create a vibrant atmosphere that we can all reap the reward of.
“With some collaborative thinking, Aberdeen could again be a destination for all to the benefit of day and night-time economy."
