I had the pleasure to drive to Ellon and be treated like a normal human being without so-called Spaces for People, and do some shopping without dodging dangerous objects placed to cause the maximum danger to pedestrians
Upon my return, I contacted a senior councillor to ask why we are still persisting with this stupidly, and received an email full of council speak telling me why they were unable to remove the measures.
I will leave it to your readers to come to the conclusion that full pedestrianisation is now on the cards for Union Street.

Time for solutions
Well, well, well, it looks like Ms Sturgeon is back to her enigmatic past of comparisons when there is bad news.
In my opinion, her ‘mine’s bigger/better than yours’ attitude is childish, when she compares the Scottish A&E waiting times with the rest of the UK’s services.
She even mentioned we’re better than “other countries”, but gave no facts. I think Ms Sturgeon should look at what is wrong, when the problems began, (I believe on her watch over the last few parliaments), and instigate solutions.
