Council votes to allow buses and cyclists in street

Councillors have agreed to go ahead with plans to allow buses and cyclists to access Broad Street in Aberdeen amid calls to pedestrianise it fully.

Work is ongoing to redevelop the area and create a shared surface. Lib Dem councillor Steve Delaney urged members at a council meeting to fully pedestrianise the street between Upperkirkgate and Queen Street. Councillors voted 23 to 22 to proceed with partial pedestrianisation.
