    A leading council planning boss says further work to boost Aberdeen Beach – which include a seaside Dons stadium – is unlikely to ever make it off the drawing board. Lib Dem councillor Martin Greig recently cast fresh doubts over the second phase of the multi-million-pound beach revamp, insisting the plans “were all visionary”. The whole beachfront scheme – including the potential new Aberdeen FC stadium – could cost £441 million.

    City co-leader Christian Allard has admitted that investing into Resident X in the hope that the trendy venue would rejuvenate the city centre was “maybe too ambitious”. The neon-themed complex opened in December 2022, with the local authority fronting up more than £1.3 million to help operators take it off the ground. Stretching across two floors of the council’s very own Marischal Square, it was hailed as an “Instagrammers playground” that would draw visitors to the heart of Aberdeen.

    Aberdeen’s renowned art festival Nuart has been postponed until next April. The event has been a staple in the city’s summer calendar for years, attracting thousands of visitors from across the globe. It is usually held in June, with artists from all over the world descending upon the Granite City to transform its grey walls into colourful works of art. However, the next instalment of the popular festival has been pushed to next spring as organisers focus on preparations for the Tall Ships.

    A Deeside councillor has vowed never to shop in Aberdeen city centre again after being slapped with a fine for accidentally driving through a bus gate. Geva Blackett recently found herself “entangled in blue paint” as she tried to cross from the Bon Accord Centre to Union Square. The independent councillor, who lives in Braemar, comes to Aberdeen every two months to get her hair done at Linton and Mac on Netherkirkgate.

    “This is the quietest the shop has ever been,” Dominique Dawson tells me as she gestures at the handful of customers browsing the shiny jewels on display. There was a time when the showroom at Finnies would have been bustling with shoppers, each perusing the glossy cabinets in search of that perfect present. The family-owned business has been a George Street staple for more than 65 years, and is known for its collections of luxury items – from engagement rings to classy silverware.

Swift comeback to Twitter with something different... It's true that there is never a dull day in journalism - one day you're covering healthcare cuts and bus gate court cases, the next you're lambing a ewe...🐑 https://t.co/L3u2WqzYvM
