Message from our colleagues: The Friends of St Fittick's Park -
It's very likely Aberdeen City Council will decide on ETZ planning application next Thursday (7th November), so we're doing everything we can to build pressure on the committee to reject proposals for St Fittick's park. We would really appreciate if you can share the e-action and details of the demo being organised for the Council meeting, as well as sharing/liking various social media posts we have and will put out in the lead up.
E-Action/Letter
The Friends of St Fittick's Park need your help to protect Torry's last accessible greenspace from industrialisation by ETZ Ltd. We need as many people as possible to write to Aberdeen's planning committee before the 7th November when it's likely they will decide on ETZ Ltd planning application for the park. We have to tell them to reject the ETZ for the park because the impact will be irreversible; the health impact assessment is unreliable; the flooding risks have been underestimated, and community mental health and wellbeing has not been prioritised.
You can do this easily by clicking the link to take part in our e-action where an email will be sent on your behalf to all planning committee members. Alternatively, we invite people to send their own emails to the committee, we still suggest to use the arguments used in the E-Action letter.
Demo for 7th November
To mark a monumental day for the future of the park, Friends of St Fittick's Park will be hosting a demo before the committee meeting. This will be from 9am on the 7th November, initially congregating outside Marischal College. We invite supporters to wear blue (but not essential) to symbolise the flood waters are rising in the park (one reason for the Council to reject plans) as well as showing councillors there is a 'wave' of people who support the campaign to protect the park.
