The first phase of the ETZ plans will destroy a large section of the burn that runs through the park. “Realignment works” as the “Energy Transition Zone” folk put it. This is the final preparation for bulldozing all the woodland to create the space for whatever factory they have planned - even at this point, no one knows what that will actually be. TOMORROW, THURSDAY 9AM, ABERDEEN TOWN HOUSE

But Torry is fighting back Friends of St Fittick’s Park has received legal advice that the land comprising St Fittick’s Park and surrounding wetlands is held by a trust not as general corporate property, but as part of the historic Lands of Torry Trust for the benefit of ‘education’ and the ‘poor’. This means that Aberdeen City Council may not be within their rights to use the land for commercial property - and may need to obtain permission by the trust that the land is used for the benefit of the community. Friends of St Fitticks Park call on the Council to Immediately publish a full register of land it holds as trustee, Confirm whether any leases or agreements over trust land have been signed or proposed, Cease further actions that could prejudice the outcome of future legal proceedings.

Friends of St Fittick’s Park argued that, before the work starts, an end user of the site needs to be named - as set out clearly in the planning permission of the site. But the council rejected this. Instead, they swallowed the line that the “Energy Transition Zone” will serve restoration and enhancement of the burn and wetlands and bring “community benefits”, even though the most biodiverse part of the burn running through St Fittick’s Park would be destroyed. No one knows who will use the new facilities for what, except that the fossil fuel lobby and oil billionaire Ian Woods want the park to be destroyed.

The “Energy Transition Zone’, a shady conglomerate with a fossil fuel billionaire backer, is planning environmental destruction to prolong the life of oil and gas , with false “solutions” like carbon capture and storage that will allow oil and gas to keep flowing. They want to start their destructive work this winter. This means a contractor could start very soon. Friends of St Fittick's Park is preparing legal action, and have gathered legal advice, and the community have a real chance to win against council and fossil fuel lobby. They will need all the support they can get - from awareness to fundraising for the legal costs.
