ACSEF are holding a consultation evening on Union Terrace Plans
Sir Ian Wood and Dave Blackwood from ACSEF are holding a consultation evening on their plans for Union Terrace Gardens this Wednesday at Tiger Tiger.
This is aimed at 'young people' and I would say that all of you would fall into that category ;-)
As you'll see it aims to let you young folks 'have your say'
We understand that ACSEF (Aberdeen City and Shire Economic Futures) have made the decision to only look into Wood's scheme for the Gardens and not to look any further into the benefits of Peacock's plan for the gardens which is 70% funded and has full planning permission.
See: http://www.peacockvisualarts.com/new-building/
For a different view point on Sir Ian's plans for the gardens see: http://www.architecturescotland.co.uk/news/1520/Wilson

Summer Market at Platform 22
Platform 22 is holding its Summer Market this Saturday 6th of June, between 10am & 2pm. If you are in the area we hope you will be able to pop along and pay us a visit! There will be a wide and eclectic selection of produce and services on offer from the stallholders.As always art and design have a special place at Platform 22 and several local artists will be showing work both in the gallery and outside on the stalls ~ Leslie Cullan, Robert Patterson, Hazel Morrison, Shelley Tuck, Emma Pattullo, Gabrielle Reith, Philip Thompson, Ingeborg Bodzioch, Claudia van Zuiden and the Shire Dweller. Additionally portraitist Deirdre Varley will be on hand to provide 10 minute caricatures ~ an ideal present for Fathers day on the 21st June.
The market is aimed at helping and encouraging the development of a network of local businesses and is supporting the Federation of Small Businesses' "Keep Trade Local" campaign. Independent businesses play a vital role in Scotland's communities and our lives and key point of the FSB campaign is the added value attached to money spent with local businesses; every £1 spent with a local supplier being worth £1.76 to the local economy.
NEOS 2009: September 12th - 21st.
